Thumbs up Ready to pull the trigger!
After countless hours of "Bird-*******",I have FINALLY deduced my selection to these three bikes!

07 Electra Glide Standard 1800 miles $11,000

08 FLHPI 24,000 miles. Stage II ,SE255 cam ,10:1 Pistons ,True Duals, PC III $11,000

08 Electra Classic 11,600 miles $2500 of Chrome $14,500

If it were you,how would you vote??

Thanks for all valued and DEEPLY APPRECIATED advice!!

cheaper one so you can have that extra money to buy your own parts to mod it

Does the Police bike still have the stock Police solo seat? Me personally, wouldn't have that seat.

and $2,500 worth of chrome means nothing, unless you were going to buy all that yourself anyway.......

FYI: The 07 will have a 5 gallon gas tank and the 08s will have a 6 gallon gas tank

That seat is long gone! I agree about the Chrome. My Foretravel was born in your part of the country! Thanks for chiming in!!

In case it matters to you...the 09's went with the new frame, and extra engine brace. I have noticed the difference, did not know if this is possible for you or not. I am partial to RK, bit the 08 Electra sounds like a good deal...

I highly recommend that you look for a 09 or later. The new frame is miles better than the old one! my 2 cents
