Hi Guys,
I am the New Guy ,I have just purchased my first Harley Davidson.I have had various bikes for many years and during the last 10 years have had Goldwings.I live in England but i visit the USA at least 5 times a year and have a home in Atlanta ,GA.

I have been going to Bikeweek in Daytona for about 8 years and also Biketoberfest as well,I am 58 years old.

Now to the point I have read in a couple of american bike magazines that the 2005 Screemin Eagle Electra Glide has a problem at a steady speed if you are taking a curve,the bike starts to squirm,and then starts to shake.Has any one else here had this problem?

My bike will be ready for my collection at the end of the month and I could use the information to maybe alter the ride at the rear.The Screemin Eagle comes with lower than normal suspention,would this affect the ride?

As I say any info please

Many thanks

JJ

I have the Yellow Screemin Eagle Electa Glide.

 

Welcome JJ, there are some here that can give you a definative answer to your questions. Stick around and enjoy the camaridery.

 

Welcome from SoCal, Ive been ridin Ultras for 6 yrs now, different terrain, 2 up excetra and never been an issue.

 

JJ I have a 2005 FLHTCI and it rides great no complaints.I'm not aware of any problems but it's not a Screaming Eagle.
Good luck.

 

I think this might be what you are looking for, I have heard of some people having problems, I have not yet on the RK. My friend has these on all three of his Harleys and swears by them.

Here is the web-site for Ride-STr8 stabilizer bracket kit. There is another one called Tru-trac, but it takes up more ground clearance than the STr8.

Welcome John,

I can't help you with your Screaming Eagle question, but did want to say hello.

Hi John,

Welcome to the Forum!

 

Thanks for the welcome guys,I will look on the STr8 website and maybe get some help of those guys.I will probably wait until I ride the bike first and make my call then.

I will try and post some pictures of the bike when its delivered. I will attach the picture the dealer sent me

Regards
JJ
