Tour Glide
The FLT Tour Glide was introduced in 1979. Sold alongside the existing FLH Electra Glide, the FLT had a larger frame with rubber engine mounts, a five-speed transmission, the 80 cu in (1,300 cc) engine, and a frame-mounted fairing. In order that the FLT frame, which was larger and heavier than the large and heavy FLH frame, would handle acceptably, the front forks were given radical steering geometry which had them mounted behind the steering head, with the frame behind the steering head being recessed to allow adequate steering lock.[16]
The FLHT was introduced in 1983. This was an Electra Glide based on the FLT Tour Glide frame, but using the Electra Glide "batwing" fairing instead of the Tour Glide frame-mounted fairing.[16]
Except for the base FLH, all 1984 FLs were equipped with the new rubber-mounted Evolution engine and a five-speed transmission.[17]
All "Shovelhead" engines were discontinued by the 1985 model year.[18] In that year, the four-speed solid-engine-mount FLH was modified to accept rubber mounting and the Evolution engine. The FLH was discontinued in 1986; all Touring models thereafter used the FLT/FLHT frame.[16] Ironically, the FLT Tour Glide, which introduced the current Touring frame, was dropped from the lineup in 1996. The frame-mounted Tour fairing would return with the FLTR Road Glide in 1998.[citation needed]
The Evolution engine was replaced by the Twin Cam 88 engine on all large-frame Harley-Davidson motorcycles in 1999.[16]
[edit]Unfaired Glides
2006 Road King Custom
An unfaired version of the FLH Electra Glide, known as the FLHS Electra Glide Sport, was available from 1977 to 1982. An unfaired FLHT Electra Glide reintroduced the FLHS Electra Glide Sport name in 1987. In 1994, the FLHS Electra Glide Sport was replaced by the FLHR Road King, which continues to the present day

Why thank you kindy sir - not my cup of tea

The picture kindly found by David is indeed the item in question. I think the 'Spiffy Tour Pak' was very similar to the standard US version but was purely aimed at the UK market due to the integrated Pimms holder.
Despite my penchant for a glass of Pimms in the summer, it aint my cuppa rosy either, which is why it languishes in my loft and has done since about 10 minutes of getting the bike home.
'Ere Mac1, a quiet, discreet word if I may! ("Spiffy" = abbreviation of "Spiffing" = really rather jolly good) Just me being a ponce.
Google "Tour Pak" and you would find the item mentioned.
