This Harley-Davidson touring nameplate was introduced for the 1995 model year as the fuel-injected version of the Ultra Classic Electra Glide, building on the long-running Electra Glide family. The suffix identified the addition of electronic fuel injection, which was a notable step for Harley-Davidson’s big touring models in the mid-1990s and helped distinguish it from the carbureted Ultra Classic variant. From the start, it sat near the top of the brand’s traditional touring lineup, combining the familiar batwing-fairing touring formula with full long-distance equipment and a strong emphasis on comfort, storage and highway use.
Over its run, the model remained closely tied to Harley-Davidson’s evolving Touring platform rather than being a short-lived special edition. It followed the company’s broader shift toward more refined touring motorcycles in the 1990s and early 2000s, when the Electra Glide line continued to serve as the core of the brand’s full-dress road motorcycles. The fuel-injected Ultra Classic became a recognizable enthusiast model in its own right, especially among riders who wanted the classic Harley touring silhouette with the convenience and reliability improvements of EFI.
The nameplate appears in Harley-Davidson documentation through the 2006 model year, after which the 2007 Touring lineup used the revised FLHTCU designation without the trailing “I.” That makes this an unbroken production run that began in 1995 and ended with the 2006 model year. In Harley-Davidson history, it represents an important transitional era: a traditional air-cooled touring flagship that bridged the carbureted Electra Glide years and the later, updated Touring family that followed.
