Electra Glide to Street Glide Conversion
I know it's been covered a while back when the Street Glides first came out but I am seriously considering buying a say 05 FLHPTI Police Electra Glide and converting to a Street Glide look alike. I know of the issues with no stereo controls in the bars and that is not the end of the world by far.
I'd imagine I can pickup say an 05 in the area of $15K give or take. Another $500 for a Biketronics Sony Kit and I am on my way; albeit slowly.
Any opinions, thoughts or suggestions from the knowledgeable here? With all the 06 issues I've read about from bad radios, to brake noise to the dreaded cat issues, I am just plain not overly confident in buying an 06 be it used or new no matter what my stealer says. They are in the market to sell bikes and I realize that. Seems the FLHTPI would be a good alternative...... I'll kick back and wait for some input!
Thanks

Love my 06..only issues is the front rotors..the stink anyway..I will swap them out when I buy new wheels. Worse case you get some floating roters and your good to go. Those are cheap like $70 each.

If it's a conversion you want, good luck with the project. Then again, if ya want a new Street Glide, why hesitate? I'm guessing that's whatcha really want![sm=signs007.gif]

Indeed Bounty that's what I'd like and after sitting and doing some simple match, I don't see where I'll be saving all that much and still not have the "real deal". Unless something incredibly good shows up, I'll prolly go the street glide route and add a Chopped Tour Pak, I'll be good to go.

Beside the parts that you take off you can resell on ebay. You'll get almost 75% of the cost of the part back. Harley parts are like gold on ebay. Trust me I know. Have fun..
