There's history in this bike.. it's a '98 Electra Glide Standard that I built in '98. I took a brand new bike down to the bare frame, built the motor, gloss black powdercoated nearly everything on the bike, and put it all back together.. The bike originally had a black ceramic coated Thunderheader on it, but I decided I liked the 2-into-2 look better.

A good friend who's highly placed at the MOCO took a bunch of photos of the bike in '03. Then, on August 1st of '04, the day the '05 HD's came out on the internet, he called me to tell me I should be getting royalty checks from ***** G. He told me the photos that he took were hangin' on the walls in the product development division at Harley.. and that my bike was the inspiration for the Street Glide.

I even showed it at the January '99 Easyrider's show in Charlotte.

Here is my new 2009 SG in Pewter Silver. I traded my damaged 2009 Red Sunglo about 5 weeks ago due to a minor mishap.

I like that pewter and almost bought one. But the vivid black just sucked me in again.

Default 06 SG new tank art

Tank art painted in the style of 1933, just because I like it.

Default Partial to MY Street Glide

Okay, Love all your Bikes and think it is wonderful how attached we all are to our rides. I particularly love mine. What do you think?
Hopefully this will upload. I seem to have problems uploading. If it doesn't come through on this post I will try again. My pic either comes up too small or too big. Any suggestions how to make picture fit in the window!! Thanks.

Oh ya, XXXRacing where did you get the ALL BLACK FLOORBOARDS? I LIKE!!!
