Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic 1989 touring motorcycle Sound Effects Library
COVER
Library Overview & Details
The Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic represents the classic heritage and heavy-touring character of American V-Twin engineering. This library captures the iconic and raw soul of the 1600cc engine - balancing air-cooled mechanical presence with heavy highway touring authority. Its sound is defined by the unmistakable staggered firing rumble, characterized by a deep, throaty exhaust thrum and a distinct mechanical valvetrain clack across gear shifts and acceleration sweeps. It offers an authentic and powerful acoustic profile that serves as an essential resource for open-road highway sequences, motorcycle physics implementation, film sound design or period-accurate touring bike audio.
Whether you are designing high-speed highway passes, building dynamic engine loops across gears or layering tactile touring foley, the Electra Glide Ultra Classic provides a detailed and visceral soundscape.
Iconic Evolution V-Twin signature: Authentic multi-angle recordings of the 1600cc engine, capturing the signature staggered idle rumble, carbureted air intake pull and heavy exhaust pulses.
Synchronized dual-perspective mixing: Fully aligned engine and exhaust tailpipe perspectives allow you to seamlessly balance mechanical engine clack against thunderous exhaust notes across all speed thresholds.
Gear-specific driving dynamics & steady holds: Covers individual gear passes from 1st through 5th gear, downshifting, overtaking, ramps and steady RPM holds at 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 RPM for precise pitch tracking and engine loop synthesis.
Comprehensive touring foley: An extensive collection documenting hard saddlebag latches, storage compartment hatches, side stand deployments, footrest flips, fuel pump priming, CD player mechanics and fairing switchgear.
