berSERK for an Electra King!
« on: December 31, 2007, 06:19:05 PM »
Hi Everybody,

I've been hanging around the site for quite awhile now, and finally decided I should take the time to introduce myself. My wife and I are on our third Harley and this time it's an FLHRSE3. We started out in '98 with a new Wide Glide, and moved up to a new Road King Classic in '05. We finally made the leap to the Screamin' Eagle in late '06.

We would like to do a little (OK a LOT!) of work on the motor, but so far we've been using the engine warranty on a regular basis. Once the MoCo gets everything working reliably though we plan to do something along the lines of the work Hoist is doing with his.  8) Or maybe we'll just go for it without the warranty...  ???

I work out of state so I don't have much time to post, but I try to jump in where I can -especially if I think I can help someone. This site has been a great source of information and I would like to help by doing my part. Since I'm out of town so much we usually ride as much as possible on the weekends, but now that it's winter here in Southern Oregon the riding has slowed down a little. We do plan to take the bike out tomorrow for our HOG Chapter's annual Polar Bear Run. Glad we have our heated gear!  :pepper:

When I'm out of town (at work) I usually check the CVO site every day at lunch time. It helps me keep my sanity!  :huepfenjump3:

The subject line for this post gives a little bit of a hint for the direction our bike work is headed. We're in the process of adding hard bags -since our bike came with two little leather clad "glove boxes" instead of real saddlebags!  :soapbox: And we just acquired a King TourPak that we're getting ready to have painted as well. The jury is still out on a fairing and lowers, but I'm working on Management (wife) approval for some of those things as well. Not sure if I'm a fairing kind of guy yet or not though...  :confused5:

Guess that's probably already more than anyone wants to know. See you all around the site!  8)

Welcome to the site glad to have you join us. :2vrolijk_21: I'll be the last one to hold it against you for getting the creature comforts of fairing and lowers. ;) Good luck w/what ever you decide and let us see some pics when you get it done.

That's the only way you can do what I'm doing. Only HD parts gonna be left in my motor are the cases. I'm not looking back either! ;)

Many people seem to be giving up on HD now, and taking things into their own hands. It ain't rocket science. Go for it!

And being so close to Gene, you should be able to get yout "hard" parts painted to match real easily!

Good luck with your projects! It'll be nice to follow your progress through the transformation.

Healthy and Happy New Year bb53! :2vrolijk_21:

Just wanted to ask this question.
you say,
Quote
Many people seem to be giving up on HD now,
I can only assume you are are speaking of owners of the 110 motor.
Is that correct or are you painting a broad picture that includes all owners of the Harley Davidson product?
If you are including all owners then take my name off the list. From my first shovelhead and ironhead to the EVO to my latest twin cam I have enjoyed the experience and support the Motor Company with my loyalty and my hard earned dollars.
Do they produce a perfect product? No, but who does? I certainly don't and at 150 to 250K per unit I try to give the best bang for the buck but have found there's always someone who can never be satisfied.

So please clarify your definition of who these many people are.
Hope you and Binx have a happy new year.

Clarification for those that need it.

"Many people seem to be giving up on HD now, and taking things into their own hands.": those people that are giving up on HD and taking things into their own hands! ::) ;D

Happy New Year to you and Nancy as well!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I was outside taking down my Christmas lights when I remembered that I forgot to include a picture -and I had one all ready too!  :duhk: Hope you all have a Happy New Year!  :drink:
