Good looker, Tom.
My ONLY real complaint about them, is the seat. Never cared for it when I saw them in the beginning, and just can't seem to git over it. My problem. Well, one of many.

I agree with Da Gump on it being a good looking machine, DON'T let it get away from ya.
I remember when Dad bought the 77 Electra Glide Classic that I'm riding now. That Comfort-Flex seat was a lot more comfortable than the old Buddy seat on his 74 Electra Glide, but even I wasn't real crazy on the way it set up off the bike. I bought the 77 from Dad in 93 and last year I decided I was going to have to do something with the seat as it was starting to come apart at the seams from age. Actually it was the optional leather seat that Dad had replaced the original vinyl one with right shortly after he bought it.
I looked around thinking I wanted a frame mounted one, but after checking prices,,,, I had the leather one recovered and I must add,,,,,, it may not look the greatest,,,, but it sure rides nice,,, especially two up!

Here it is with the windshield/fairing and tourpak removed for summer.
And below is the latest pic,,, Goose turn-outs till I go back to the duals.
