A 'stripped down' version of the Electra Glide, the Street Glide is mechanically identical to the Electra Glide series machines but comes with a chopped down windscreen, no front fender trim, no Tour Pack, and a lower rear air-adjustable suspension. The Street Glide still retains all of the creature comforts of the Electra Glide bikes such as a Harmon Kardon sound system, cruise control, and optional ABS and security. A "Street Glide Special" version, designated FLHXS, was introduced in 2014 with the security system and ABS made standard, a Boom! Box 4.3" (FLHX) or 6.5GT (FLHXS) [with Touch scrren and GPS] infotainment system, manually adjustable upgraded rear suspension, trim (including gloss black inner fairing and pin striping), and paint (some different colors between the FLHX and FLHXS). 2014-15 models of the FLHX and FLHXS incorporated the changes brought forward by Harley-Davidson's Project Rushmore[1][better source needed]
