As for wiring (which you don't seem interested in), both bikes use the same main wiring harness, but different interconnect harnesses and handlebar switches. If you plan to add cruise control, gauges, and handlebar controls for the radio, consider swapping out the interconnect harnesses for neater wiring.

Harleypingman, I've been meaning to comment on your bike. I like the Street Glide treatment you did to the rear of the bike and your "FLHTPX" designation. Good on both points.
I wonder if I can turn mine into an "FLHTPCU'!

Swapping the interconnect harness is a great time saver and opens up easy add-ons like gauges, cruise control, etc. I didn't do it that way and you can make all of this stuff work by modifying the police interconnect harness, but I've worn out the civilian and police wiring diagrams over the past 4 years doing it the "hard" way.
If you decide to add cruise control, you'll get the right side handlebar switches, and you can find the left side easily enough; usually when someone adds CB to a non-Ultra EG or SG. With the civilian interconnect harness and civilian handlebar switches, you can do whatever you want electrically speaking.
Hope you enjoy your '06 as much or more than I've enjoyed my '04.

RMSinger, good call, I was going to toss that lil bit of info there, but you beat me to it.
The other post with about 20 differances too, wow man, thanks for the heads up, I guess you missed the clutch/start bit , buts cause you covered all the other bits.
Now for the guy asking about lights and stuff, do a search on e-bay, its amazing the stuff you can/will find for your ride.

I am new to the Harley family.
Just sold my Yammie, and am looking forward to getting my 1st HD sometime in the near future.
I do have a question for you.
On a FLHTP or a FLHTPI, what is the purpose of the "hockey pucks" on the saddlebags?
Also, is there a difference between the FLHTP and the FLHTPI?

The cop bikes are falling apart, at least at my former department. The Harleys are not holding up to the demands required of them.
