I bought this 98 Electra Glide Classic after looking for as close to original 98 Electra Glide for quite a while last January. It turned up 1 hour from home, I bought it from the original owners son in law with 23k miles. He had bought it the previous year and decided it wasn’t for him. Everything was stock, even the exhaust and handgrips. I bought it with the purpose of doing a sidecar installation, I had an DMC Economy Classic sidecar mounted. I had new triple trees, steering damper, oil cooler with fan and a brake on the sidecar. I have put 2k miles on the rig so far and it handles great, sweet spot for cruising is 45 to 65 mph. Kids and the dog love it.

Bought both new in '03, rode from Central TX to the 100th Anniversary Birthday Party & then put it away in '13 when my riding partner died. Now, 10 years & a whole lot of $$$ later, I've got it out, serviced & back on the road. Feels like I never missed a day, although I've got to train & break-in a new navigator. The other thing that I'm getting ready to do to my rig after it's long slumber is to install one of Johnny Sweet's EZEE STEER's. I've never had an issue with the way my rig handled, but since I've gotten back in the seat & started following the sidehack news again, I came across EZEE STEER, invented by an engineer & long time sidecar fan & builder named Johnny Sweet (check his page on Farcebook). From the many positive reviews, it makes piloting a rig a whole new experience. I'll post pics of the install when I get started on it shortly. I'm curious, has anybody on the forum installed one on their rig & if so, what's your opinion? Later...
