A couple of years ago, during a passing thunderstorm, I compared the major driveline components between police and civilian EG's using the parts books at my local HD store. IIRC, there is no difference in the engines in 2006. If your are really interested in knowing, just do the same. It will take you about 15 minutes.

As for wiring (which you don't seem interested in), both bikes use the same main wiring harness, but different interconnect harnesses and handlebar switches. If you plan to add cruise control, gauges, and handlebar controls for the radio, consider swapping out the interconnect harnesses for neater wiring.

 

Harleypingman, I've been meaning to comment on your bike. I like the Street Glide treatment you did to the rear of the bike and your "FLHTPX" designation. Good on both points.
I wonder if I can turn mine into an "FLHTPCU'!
Scrabble loves me!

 

Well, I never set out to make a SG clone and haven't. Do what you like as you find the time and $$$.

Swapping the interconnect harness is a great time saver and opens up easy add-ons like gauges, cruise control, etc. I didn't do it that way and you can make all of this stuff work by modifying the police interconnect harness, but I've worn out the civilian and police wiring diagrams over the past 4 years doing it the "hard" way.

If you decide to add cruise control, you'll get the right side handlebar switches, and you can find the left side easily enough; usually when someone adds CB to a non-Ultra EG or SG. With the civilian interconnect harness and civilian handlebar switches, you can do whatever you want electrically speaking.

Hope you enjoy your '06 as much or more than I've enjoyed my '04.

 

-Driving lights don't turnoff with brights on
-Need to clutch to start bike

 

I have a 2000 ex police bike and would like to restore it to original with lights and siren does any one know where a person can buy used?

 

RMSinger, good call, I was going to toss that lil bit of info there, but you beat me to it.
The other post with about 20 differances too, wow man, thanks for the heads up, I guess you missed the clutch/start bit , buts cause you covered all the other bits.
Now for the guy asking about lights and stuff, do a search on e-bay, its amazing the stuff you can/will find for your ride.

I am new to the Harley family.
Just sold my Yammie, and am looking forward to getting my 1st HD sometime in the near future.

I do have a question for you.
On a FLHTP or a FLHTPI, what is the purpose of the "hockey pucks" on the saddlebags?

Also, is there a difference between the FLHTP and the FLHTPI?

 

The cop bikes are falling apart, at least at my former department. The Harleys are not holding up to the demands required of them.

 

my 98 flhpi is still going strong with 93,000 miles.retired from service with 63,000 miles.whats falling apart?kinda curious.

 

The "I" stands for fuel injection; no "I" is a carbed bike. Since '07 model year, all of the bikes are fuel injected so the "I" is no longer used.
