Was talked into it by my wife, boy did she have to work to convince me it took all of about 30 second. Hardest part was deciding on which color to buy.

Well, the road to my SE was a little curved. I had been into street rods for about 20 year and recently built a 1947 Chevy Aerosedan. Tok me 2 years to finish.

A friend of my took a Harley in on a trade for another street rod, so he called me up and said he had something that I just HAD to see. - A 2001 Wideglide2.

I said, "Oh, a Harley". He said, "No, I don't think you've ever seen one like this one."

Well, I drove over in my street rod to see it. After I walked around it for a few minutes, I asked him to start it up. He did and in a matter of seconds, I pulled out my keys and aked if he wanted to swap out even.

He said he would have to think about it, but after a few hours of "begging', he took the offer and I have not looked back!

Although I traded "my baby" away, I have never had so much fun with anything else that I have owned.

See "my baby" below.......

Damn....I can't say I'd trade a fine looking Hot Rod like that one just to have a SE model. That is one FINE looking machine, but then again...so is the FXDWG2.

So are you planning another Hot Rod build up yet?

Probably the 20 years had me a little burned out on street rods, and the scooter is still "new" to me.

Maybe later, a little 32 Ford roadster pickup may be in my future. But until then, RIDE LONG and FREE!

The motor. I pull a big load, Bike, trailer, broad and gear, not to mention my fat ass... about 1,500 pounds total. I hate to go slow. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Truthfully--i was on my way to st louis to get a texas chopper. But, upon seeing the SEEG, changed my mind---besides---how would it look? a 53 year old man riding a chopper with skulls and eyeballs in the paint looking back at ya.

ps----best move ive ever made

Being an old Windjammer fixed fairing guy I wasn't really crazy about my 94 and then 95 Ultras. I traded the the last Ultra for a 95th Anniversary Road Glide with the fixed fairing. I went to buy an all black because I had a paint scheme in mind that would somewhat disquise the fixed fairing and make it look more like a Harley with the handlebar mount. The dealer was out of everything but the anniversary model and said to ride it for a year and if I liked it he'd give me back my money on a 99 all black and paint it any way I wanted. I should have gotten that in writing. He reniged. Then I went to Sturgis, saw the 00 SERG, with a paint scheme similar to what I wanted, in really cool orange and black, with a high performance engine and factory warranty. I went straight to the phone, called home, and ordered one. I rode it 30000 miles in four years and traded for the 04 SEEG. I liked the color scheme and the additional performance and felt I could get used to the handlebar fairing. I am so happy about both the CVO bikes, especially this 04 SEEG. I've made a few minor alterations but not much. The SERG didn't get much accessorizing either. Kudos to MOCO for both those efforts. FYI the Dakota Digital hidden antenna is a nice addition if you have a tour pak and take it on and off regularly. The Rinehart pipes are great too. But don't do the reflash, rather, spend the money for a tunable system. Happy Harley Riding and keep the oily and rubbery side down and the shiny and colorful side up. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

After 4 years with my Cobalt Blue Pearl 95 in '99 Road King Classic...in my opinion on eof the finest bikes ever made by HD...I was thinking what to do. I wanted a bike with fewer miles, but LOVED this bike. My riding friend, who had worked at 2 dealers, and traded a Sporty for a RK after seeing mine, called me up and said "I have something you HAVE to see..."

I went straight down and (after looking around to see that no one was looking) pulled the brochure for the SEEG out of his desk drawer. I drooled within about a second, and began thinking about it...

It took a month or so to decide that I could swing the cash, as long as I sold my RK. Luckily, my brother, who always drooled over my RK, bought it from me. I gave him a great deal, and still get to keep it in my garage.

This is the only bike that I could have bought to replace my RKC. There is nothing else out there that I would be happy with...I'm in love...can ya tell?

I had a 2003 Fatboy. I wanted the 103 motor really bad. It would have cost me at least 5k to beef up my Fatboy. Once I saw the SEEG I fell in love. I emailed every dealer in several states looking to find one. I found one in Quincy Illinois. I'm the happiest man on the planet. Coolest bike ever made!

I've always loved Wide Glides, and I think the FXDWG2/3 are the nicest looking production bikes ever. When the chance to own one presented itself , I jumped on it quick.

skippy49 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 30, 2004, 04:57:18 AM »

Mine was an easy decision. I had a deuce and needed something bigger so the wife could ride comfortably. I walked into the dealership and saw my 03 SERK. It was Purdue's colors-gold and black, and the engine was bigger than my buddies 95 ci SE bikes. That was easy. But I've never ran my bud's 95" SERG. His runs so good I'm afraid he'd beat me and then what would I do? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

My Buddie purchased an 04 SEEG. The mistake I made was taking him up on his offer to take it for a ride. Ever since i've been obsessing over it and finally got mine in October.

What a Ride!!!! [smiley=bigok.gif]

Pretty much a matter of economics. Had an '03 Classic and was considering building the engine to 103, custom paint, lowering etc and really came up with a higher price tag than letting HD do the work as in a SEEG. Skipped the aggravation and bought the new scoot.

Well, after having a number of SoftTails and recently purchasing a Custom Chooper, I went on a ride on my '99 Fatboy...1,500 miles and 2-1/2 days later, 40+ yrs old, I determined it was time to review other options. I wanted speed, comfort, convience and all the others...After reviewing that cirteria, the SEEG was certainly an option.

Do not get me wrong, there have been issuse, however who amoung us has not had to deal with this issue? While I am still dealing with a warranty issue, the bike is in prime shape.

I would not trade it nor sell it for another at this point. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed a ride today in the 71* temp we enjoyed.......one of the reasons I enjoy the South!

All the Best.
