Wow you're impatient. I bet there weren't a whole lot of people that even logged on in the time between when you posted and edited.

 

Wow. I was interested to see what came of that too.
Oh well.

 

It looks like an E Glide Classic, Lookin' good I might add...

 

 

Guess I was in a bad mood when I removed the original post, and after 24 hrs and no response, I figured what the heck, nobody knows about this yr bike.
Anyways, I was wondering what was special about this model in 1987. It has a tag on top ofthe tank that says 1987 Electra Glide Custom, Vehicle No.280 - 800, which tells me they only made 800 of this model. It does say Classic on front fender.
Just curious.

 

Well, there isn't much info, but it did exist...at least here in Aus...

The "custom" thing appears a lot with screamin eagle stuff. Maybe it's an early SE bike?

Open to the floor....

 

Only 800...model year 1987...that is odd.

 

1988 was the 85th Anniversary of H-D and they did offer special models. I am looking at a photo the 85th FLHTC and it has special two-tone paint.

They also had a big Milwaukee Ride for MDA that year. Many of the Harley Executives rode in the vent and maybe your bike was a part of that.

 

The 1988 had a limited run on the classics, two tone paint andwire wheels maybe something more, not sure.
Far as the 1987, maybe it was the same deal as the 1988.
