This Harley-Davidson sidecar application was part of the company’s Touring-sidecar lineup for Road Glide models, using the FLTR/I designation in early catalog and parts literature. The accessory appears in Harley-Davidson materials by the 2000 model year and is documented through the 2007 model year as a Road Glide-compatible sidecar setup. It was developed as part of Harley-Davidson’s long-running factory sidecar program, which let riders pair a touring motorcycle with a purpose-built sidecar body, frame, and connection hardware rather than relying on aftermarket conversions. In the Touring family, the sidecar represented a niche but highly recognizable option, appealing to riders who wanted the stability, practicality, and period-correct character associated with classic Harley-Davidson sidecar rigs. By the 2008 model year, Harley-Davidson’s published sidecar references shifted to FLTR without the /I suffix, so the FLTR/I-named record is best treated as a single, continuous production-era application ending with 2007.
