RE: Ahhhhhhhh RUN
they don't use the black one anymore. My 04 originaly had a black one but all the replacements have been white. I think all the 05's came with white. I had 3 different white ones on my 04, the last one was trouble free. water seems to be the most common cause of failure. one time the dealer installed a new one then had their guys wash the bike before I picked it up. it failed before I made it 10 miles from the shop. he ordered a new one right then. don't hose the speedo down when cleaning the bike. I've had several white face speedos that have had small variations from the previous ones. different light placement, some have not had clear windows for the indicator lights (making them hard to see in daytime), and other slight variations.

RE: Ahhhhhhhh RUN
I have an Ultra Cycle (http://www.ultracycles.com/). They were one of the first to put out a line of choppers back in the mid 90's. My bike is a 1997 softail model with a 88"S&S motor and a dry Primo primary. They had all sorts of little problems when they first came out but in time things got ironed out. They used a Kraft Teck frame for my bike but I'm not sure who is building their frames for them now. They made a Ground Pounder hard tail for a bunch of years that had a monster S&S motor that would haul major ***, like drag race rice rockets and make them think twice. I had a friend with one when they first came out and as long as you used lock tight on everything after in vibrated off the first time, you were ok. He also spent a night shrink tubing all the electrical connections and after that the bike was more reliable than a stock Harley.

RE: Choppers ???
Lots of dyna guys chiming in.... All I've heard is to get your hands on something harley and modify it. I'm planning on a rigid sportster frame project soon. I will provide pics when that comes together in the next few months. I'm going to buy a harley evo motor, tranny starter etc. I figure that I'd keep the guts harley and go nuts with the rolling chassis. and the flair.... I needs me a bike with apes... but i can't part with my drag bars. so i figured..... great excuse to put together a sporty chopper!!
