There's one on craigslist with a pic, says 856 made but it says FXRDG Low Glide. Good looking bike but might be hard to find parts for, 84/85 HD was changing over from Shovel head to EVO/4 speed to 5 speed/chain drive to belt drive/solid mount to rubber mount. But you can still get parts when you know what you have.

Welcome to the forum Slim. My Harley Davidson data book pretty much backs up what you have already been told. Excerpt from book: "FXRDG Disc Glide with Evolution Engine". The Disc Glide is a one year limited -edition model based on the FXRS, with special paint and graphics and a solid rear wheel.
Engine: 80 ci evolution, rear wheel is solid spun aluminum disc. Chain final drive, 5 speed trans., wire front wheel. Tank emblem is "Genuine Harley-Davidson" in ornate script. Diaphragm clutch, Chrome engine and gearbox cover. Production total 853 (thats within 10 units of prev. replies).

Is this the one you are looking at? On Craigslist in Arizona.

YA, and it looks like a rubber mount frame I see now.
So its being advertised in Maine and in Arizona. Interesting.

Not sure, found it on a google search.
I wanted to thank every body for the reply,s . I stumbled on this in a cellar in nh and thought it was one weird looking harley. I am going to bring it home tomorrow. It has not been started in 4 or 5 years. I got it running at the guys house, but it ran(edit) poor and i did not want to do any damage until it is serviced.
