So as most of you probably remember, I bought an 03 Electra Glide at the end of last year. Here she is.

Being as unmolested a Harley as I can find, she's low mileage, but didn't look the part. She's coming out of hibernation for the rest of the year in a couple of days, so when she's shiny, I'll snap an after winter pic. I'm open to comments, suggestions (especially longevity advice) and anything else you wanna throw at me. TTFN

I don't want to own them all, just ride them all.

Foaming tire cleaner is the best thing I have found to clean the engine..... Cheap, effective and best of all.... No scrubbing.

Never used it. I've heard once the blonde gets dirty, it's almost impossible to clean. I just hope my fins never get dirty. Otherwise, I'll have to blast them and paint them black. Or get a big bore kit. :naughty:
