Good lookin in person, Bob. My buddy tells me it is the only one they are going to get, may get one of the orange ones as well. 32k on the tag.

Definitely not a 2up bike. Put a different seat on it would not fit the look.

That's the problem right there. And I would imagine due to the way the seat mounts, it's not just a one screw swap either.

I haven't seen the red one. I really liked the orange one. 32k? That's over priced by a long shot. This one was just shy of 28k and I thought it was too much. You can get a fairing bike for the same price. But then again, these are going to stand out in a crowd.

Our local dealer had one of the earlier Electric Glide (?) icon editions with that solo seat. I sat on it for the fun of ... it and the seat height is quite high.
Love the look though.

They're definitely making money on those bikes. The paint is nice, and certainly worth something. But then you look at buying a brand new FLHP and it's basically the same bike for a hair over 20 grand.

Halito Woods. Late morning pass thru. Everything went well yesterday, just tired. Removed couple polyps, and never mentioned anything about any issues. So I'm assuming they never found that other doctors class ring.
You guys been busy.....reminds me I got set of Ohlins to swap out on my bike. Set them aside for better weather, then forgot about them! So I guess i should get off my butt and do those in next couple days.
Keep up the good work guys....keep doing what's best for ya!!
