This special-purpose touring model was Harley-Davidson’s Shrine edition of the Electra Glide Ultra Classic family, created for motorcycle groups associated with shrine events and ceremonial riding. Harley-Davidson’s service and parts documents show the Shrine version as early as the 2004 FLHTCUI Shrine, and the same nameplate continued to appear in official Touring-model VIN and parts references through the following years, including 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. It was built on the company’s full-dress Ultra Classic platform, so it carried the same long-distance touring identity as the standard model, but with special Shrine-specific paint and ordering codes rather than a separate chassis or unrelated design. Over time, the underlying Ultra Classic touring line evolved, and by the 2012 model year Harley-Davidson updated the family with the larger Twin Cam 103 engine in that segment. The Shrine edition itself remained a niche, organization-oriented variant rather than a mainstream retail trim, and Harley-Davidson’s 2014 materials show the Shrine badge moving to other Touring models instead of the FLHTCU, indicating that this exact Shrine nameplate ended after the 2013 model year.
