Harley-Davidson’s FLTRXSE nameplate first appeared for the 2012 model year as a CVO version of the Road Glide, adding a factory-custom take on the brand’s shark-nose touring formula. Official Harley-Davidson service and parts literature shows the FLTRXSE in 2012 and 2018, and later documents identify 2023-and-later FLTRXSE models, indicating the nameplate has been used in multiple distinct production runs rather than one uninterrupted span. In the CVO lineup, this model has represented the premium, limited-production end of the Road Glide family, with each era serving as a showcase for Harley-Davidson’s most elaborate paint, trim, and touring equipment. The model’s history is tied to the broader CVO program, which began in 1999 as the factory’s low-volume custom line, and the FLTRXSE became one of its recurring touring offerings after the Road Glide’s return to the lineup in the modern era. Because the nameplate was discontinued and later revived, its production history should be treated as separate periods rather than a single continuous run.
