I can hardly wait until Sat. morning. I will be riding my 06 Electra home from the dealer in Ellaville, GA. It will look almost nothing like the all green Electra thats been shown since I bought it and joined this forum. This is for better or worse, I just don't know. But I do know it will look very unique. I might should have left it like it was and been happy, but I couldn't do that, its just not me. Here are the changes and I will post a picture over the weekend:
1. New Classic kit, consists of : Green and chrome tank. Larger front fender. Larger and flared like the military, only chromed. It has been suggested to me that this will give it a 60's look instead of the 70's look.
2. I have decided to leave the RE emblem off of the front fender for now. Maybe later, but not now.
3. It now has a black rear luggage rack.
4. Tan RE saddle bags.
5. Knee pads on the tank 6. RE tool bag on front fork.
7. Windscreen
I had a problem with oil coming out the blowby black little hose, so this is being fixed with the suggested fix from the dealer. I had them clean out the carburator, and change all fluids. Yeah, I know, I can change all the fluids and clean the carburator, but I got a little lazy this time. I also asked them to install an accessory plug.
Well, lets hope I am surprised in a positive way. I've been waiting a long time for this, and I am ready to get back on the saddle.
Later

Kevin, what should we do about the old photo? I guess you will probably have to delete that one and let me start at the bottom again. I hate to lose my status but what the heck, I'm old enough to get over it. When I first posted my photo, I was one of only a very few. Now months later, there are many photos. Whats the possibility of starting a new score since there are so many more beautiful bikes shown now? Just food for thought.
