Gimme a 36
Great minds think alike. I'd want a '36 EL, first year Knuck, and one with the total loss oil system.

66 electra glide. Year I was born. Hey, all you old timers who are older than me. Help me with a question. I can remember the flat windshield on my Grandpa's 72. I found a 66 with a batwing. What are the proper bags and fairing for the 66? Thanks

If I could find it, I would like my g-pa's old servi-car. He rode one in the early '60's.
