Really happy for you Robert. Especially liked the picture with the warning on the side saying "wait for customer to build"..

Also envious of the shorts, still cold here in the Midwest.

Hawaiian blessing?... The bike had 8 miles on it and I got rained on already!

But... thats cool... I've never been able to get a bike home from the dealer w/o it getting "blessed"!

I showed my wife this last picture of your bike and she saw the thing on your antenna.
She said "Is that in the Harley catalog?"

Your bike looks Great Robert, right now I would be happy riding in the rain. It is 15 deg here.

Jack antenna balls are my trademark...

My Street-Glide has one too....

While the techs were doing PDI, the salesman walked to JITB and picked one up... and stuck it on the antenna....

Rain, Shine.. no matter... I'm gonna ride this thing anyway!

Jack In The Box

I have not seen one of those in 20 years or more.
I am not going to tell my wife or she may book a trip to Hawaii to get one.
It's alway nice to have little conversation piece on a persons bike.
Rain or shine I am sure riding on the island is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing the pictures..

The 3 day old review is out....

300 miles....

Ride is a bit harsh due to the 18" wheels...

The seat gap is rearing its ugly head...

And.... the damn TBW is sticking!

Goes back to the dealer in the AM.

Other than those little quirks... I LOVE IT!

I think what he was saying was, his bike has the seat gap also.

Eagle Soars · « **Reply #44 on:** February 24, 2009, 04:13:19 AM »

TBW=Throttle By Wire ??

Highjagger · « **Reply #45 on:** February 24, 2009, 06:25:19 AM »

Aaah , ok , i see , thxs ,
but it can be sticking ?, wow , that`s bad .
How is it possible ?
Please report .

2018_FLTRXSE · « **Reply #46 on:** February 25, 2009, 02:14:54 AM »

Sorry folks... My old Dually needed some brake attention so that got priority today.

Yes, TBW (Throttle by wire) was indeed sticking... binding was a better description.

I rode it in to the dealership and the techs took a look at it... they found an errant piece of chrome "slag" stuck between the throttle and the bars... easy fix.

The seat: Upon delivery it looked fine... after 450 miles of having my fat ass on the seat the tongue is lifting up and pulling back from the console.

Highjagger · « **Reply #47 on:** February 25, 2009, 02:27:30 AM »

Aaah , now i see , the fitting of the seat changes by using , it is not bad fitting when it is new .
chit , i have to put miles on my bike to see what will happen , hadn`t a chance yet because of icy weather just less than 300 km on it , shame .

It can start young and get worse as you get older! Here's a tip on how to work it off!

Highjagger · « **Reply #54 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:06:32 AM »

Hey , i do not have a fat ass , the gap is only there ( until now ) when i am sitting on the bike , but i will complain at the dealer and tell him about the hd-change-seat-action .
Thanks brothers .
