Hey all , I figured Id post this up here since this is the part of the forum I will be spending most of my time ( yes I did the new guy section too) Anyways im new to the whole Harley thing as well as the touring bikes, I came from The Jap side and mostly Rockets I loved the speed and my last bike was a 8 second daily ridden Hayabusa, Ive been riding 25 + years now with the exception of the last 2 years that I went without a bike, anyways I ended up trading my 1999 built Jeep Wrangler for this new toy here. Its a 2003 Electra Glide Std 100th anniversary Ed. Some of the details that I can remeber off the top of my head are as follows. 100 CI Keith Black 11:1 pistons, S&S 640 gear drive cams, Edelbrock Heads, Thunder 2into 1 header, 16in powdercoated rear spoke wheel, 21in front chrome wheel, custom paint, white gauges, fat boy front fender, some Willie G Skulls and some chrome.
