First Harley
I just got my first harley two months ago. after 35 years of metric bikes I am now the proud owner of an 05 Electra Glide Classic. I made a mistake in not buying the Ultra Classic. It had some items I figured I didn't need. One item I wanted was a cb/intercom and I thought it would be easy to add. I found out the hard way that Harley in a cost saving way has deleted the circuit boards necessary to support the cb/intercom from the classic radio. Their answer is for me to buy a new $1200.00 radio for my two month old bike and then sell the other radio on ebay. I guess I should have spent the extra 3 grand on the Ultra.
But I do love my Classic. It is the best riding and sounding bike I have ever owned. You can try all you want to make a rice burner sound like a harley but it is still a cheap imitation.

RE: First Harley
Know what you mean about wishing you had bought one up your model. I bought my EG Standard, as I was told the tour pak wouldn't come off the classic...as a result I have to add a bunch of stuff, should have gotten the Classic, and come to fine out, you can get the tour pack a quick disconnect on the classic.
Post some pics when you get the chance, glad you found us.

Welcome to the Forum,
Glides are very nice bikes. The only thing I would miss would be the cruise control and it is easy to add.

As Terry said the cruise was all I missed about the Ultra and I had it added.I realy did'nt care about the lower fairings because I live in Texas and there is no need for them here.I realy did'nt think I would use the C B either so the Classic was great for me.
Enjoy the forum and the new scooter.
P.S. I am from the Texas Hill country. Where is Hilltop lake Tx?

RE: First Harley
Welcome. Just sold my Ultra last fall. Stupid stupid mistake. I made a trip to the 100th on it from Columbus, Oh. From the holy land, we then rode down to Nashville, then over to DC, then home. On the Ultra it was a dream. I'm sure your glide will turn out to be the same once you start adding in the "missing" parts.
Enjoy!
