Default OK, this time I mean it!!

I am, notice that, I am going to trade for a EG Standard, Sunglo blue and have the chrome engine kit installed at the time of purchase, the only thing is they want 8 hrs. labor to install it [&:], I think it can be done in less time but will see, I get to keep all my swap over stuff off of my Heritage so it's not that bad of a deal.
I'm going to get it the first of sept. at Colboch in morriston, I'm tickled with mt descion.
Look at Mac, I might install a 200" kit in the engine, nah not really but it's a thought.

I'm holding my breath. Glad you are getting what you want, you will be pleased, I think your whole problem has been letting go of that nice Heritage. Enjoy. Don't forget the pics.

Ride Safe.

Howdy, hope that it works out for you this time. Sunglo blue sounds like it will be an eye catcher. Will be great to see a pic of it when you get it. Good luck this time.

Good choice. I think the Standard is one of HD's best kept secrets. They are a good bike at a good value.

Regards,

Bill

Mark,

With the silver motor, I would make sure you get the inner primary chromed as well. I don't have mine yet, and I think it looks funny. This mod is going to happen very soon.

CONGRATS!

I'm assuming you're getting an '06??? Does that mean you'll be getting that new radio as well?

Well I drove the street glide and didn't like it, yea I know it a bad looking bike but it didn't feel as good as a EG Standard, the suspension was very , very stiff, also the price is 19,000 after everthing is added on, so come the EG Standard.
