These two models of baggers are battling it out for the Most Popular Model award. The deciding factor? The style of front fairing. The Batwing Fairing and the Shark Nose Fairing.
A fork-mounted fairing was first available on Electra Glide models in 1969. This became unofficially known as the "batwing" fairing. Although the batwing fairing was an easily removable option on early Electra Glides, over time the instruments were moved into the fairing making it difficult to remove.
