Just got my hands on an 05 electra glide standard. Last Harley I owned was in 69, since then it's been all Honda. Was not planning on buying a bike but the price was right on the 05 and the price was good on my VTX, so I drove it home.

It's chopper blue and had 34,478 miles when I picked it up and has ABS brakes. I noticed while cleaning the bugs that killed themselves on it that it has a cigarette lighter. Is that factory or aftermarket? I know I'll have more questions later. Oh, I do have a service manual ordered because I just can not see paying a dealer to do anything other than a complete rebuild.
