4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Fully overhauled for 2024+ (FLHX, mechanically identical to the FLTRX Road Glide), the new Street Glide 117 shed 8 kg (368 kg wet) and replaced the 2017–2023 air/oil-cooled 107/114 and analog gauges with liquid-cooled cylinder heads (low central radiator), 175 N·m M8 117 power, and a 12.3-inch Skyline OS TFT.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Even with liquid-cooled cylinder heads, the Touring M8 117 retains 3-Hole lubrication: ~4.5–4.7 L SAE 20W-50 in the engine, ~946 ml (30–34 fl oz) of Formula+ in the narrow-profile Touring primary, and 828 ml (28 fl oz) in the 6-speed gearbox.
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Underneath the Touring oil pan, the horizontal engine drain plug and vertical transmission drain plug sit inches apart—double-check which plug you pulled so you never drain the transmission and double-fill the engine!
- The 12.3-inch Skyline OS screen and 200W fairing amplifier draw substantial current in Accessory mode—plug a smart tender into the factory SAE pigtail behind the left side cover whenever parked in the garage.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do the 2024+ Street Glide and Road Glide share the exact same oil, filter, and tire specs?
Yes—apart from fork-mounted Batwing (FLHX, 368 kg) vs frame-mounted Sharknose (FLTRX, 380 kg) fairings, both share identical liquid-head M8 117 3-Hole fluid volumes, HF171 filter, and 19"/18" tire specs.
Is the 2024+ Street Glide 117 fully liquid-cooled or air-cooled?
It uses precision liquid-cooled cylinder heads fed by a discreet low-mounted front radiator, routing coolant directly around the rear and front exhaust valves to slash rider heat in summer traffic while keeping finned barrels.
What is the recommended cold tire pressure for the Harley Street Glide 117?
Cold inflation is 36 PSI (248 kPa) front (130/60B19) and 40 PSI (276 kPa) rear (180/55B18), up to 42 PSI rear heavily loaded.
