Recently purchased a 2004 Wide Glide. Dealer had it advertised as having high performance exhaust (no markings on exhaust to tell me brand, but I think it is Samson Street Sweeper), Stage 1 done, mapped, and a screaming eagle air cleaner cover. What exactly constitutes a bike to be a screamin eagle model? I am curious if the previous owner just stuck a screaming eagle cover on, to fool people, or was there an performance upgrade done.

 

an actual screaming eagle will have the screamin eagle heads on it and I think they come with the screamin eagle a/c and the stage whatever map. they'll say screamin eagle on the side of the heads.

 

i think it would have a unique paint job as well

 

yeah i think you're right bout the paint job Rob.

 

If you buy the low restriction AC kit from Harley, it will have the "Screamin Eagle" logo on it. Doesn't mean the bike is actually a Screamin Eagle, just the air cleaner.

 

yeah mine has the screamin eagle A/C on it but it's not an actual screamin eagle model.

 

Screamin' Eagle's have bigger displacement engines than the standard counterparts, custom paint jobs unique to that year and only availible on S/E's, every gaudy piece of chrome in the MOCO "custom" catalog and will have a number of parts such as the heads (as mentioned) stamped with the words Sreamin' Eagle.

The Wide Glide wasnt available as a SE (CVO) in 2004. 02 was the last year for that

 

A pic would settle a lot of doubts as to if it's a CVO SE Dyna or a stock bike with some Screamin' Eagle parts on it. If that's the case then both of my Dynas just graduated to the SE level.

 

I think it is just a standard WG with screaming eagle parts. If the air cleaner kit came with screaming eagle cover, I am ok with that. I am one that I do not dress something up to make it look like something it is not. I just didn't know if the previous owner put that cover on as Bullcrap or not. I think with this post, I crossed the threshold needed to post pics. I will do that shortly. Thanks all!
