Collected it yesterday,rode it back the 60 miles and could not get the smile of my face.My wife says I have not stopped smiling yet.
Here Goes,
2005 Screemin Eagle Electra Glide, as you can see its Candy Apple Yellow,I am told its one of 4 in Great Britain in this colour.
103 Cubic Inch Eagle Motor ,I got a whole load of stuff from my dealer and from Harley Davidson,I do not think the pictures do it justice .
Its loaded with chrome including Thunderstar Wheels.
I will post some other info but I cannot stay away from it long enough at the moment.

Still Smiling
JJ

Congrats! I have never seen one with yellow on the inside of the fairing, I did not know that Harley even made them that way. Pretty cool, looks great, I'd be interested in seeing pics of some more of the details, (wheels, close up of the engine, etc.)

It seems that Hotmetal and I have the same Good taste!!! you will enjoy the bike ,no matter how bad a day that you have this bike will restore your goodwill.
Its a pleasure to see another person have the same thrill that I had when my bike arrived at the dealer.

I have had the Stage one Tuning Kit with Straight through exhaust (mufflers) this helps the breathing and in turn gives more Power.I have purchased a tag that says my name JJ the year 05 and HOG.... JJ05 HOG as you can see in the pictures.

More to follow Guys, I will ship the bike next year and take it to Daytona Bikeweek, I hope to meet some of you there.Its a long journey for me so please make it a worthwhile one.

Safe and happy riding Guys
JJ

Love your bike!!!! I had to do a double take when I read your post and realized that two people thousands of miles apart posted pictures of bikes that are nearly identical on the same day. I share your excitement and know you are going to enjoy it!
