I've always had a soft spot for those fat tire '06s.  I agree, they really got those bikes right.  And if it wasn't chrome, it was color-matched powder coat.  There was some nice attention to detail on those hot rods.

And the paint on them is really nice.  With a nice Windvest windshield (the best looking mount, IMO) it kept enough wind off your upper body to make going 120+ fast enjoyable.  It's like driving a wicked assed sports car...LOVE the sound of one wound up in third gear...

Hey Brian.   Got any fishing line and some goo gone?   I see fork reflectors.   .    Mine are laying in the drawer.   my forks never looked better too.

Thought you where gonna pull the trigger on one of these lovely ladies AJ!
Just wondering why you haven't.

I ended up doing it, but only because my 11 trashed the rod bearings.
Glad I did, Orange is a Great color as you already know.

HAHA

C'mon now, Stu.  You didn't worry yourself over a couple of reflectors the first few days, did ya?  I'm too busy out rolling a few miles on the ol' hot rod!

[Cvostu]

I'm just teasin  ya.   I did take mine off tho.  Took about a month.  No reflector remorse here.   Enjoy the bike.  You are going to love that ride.   I saw one yesterday.  Looked great.

I'm likin' it a lot, already!  I think they shoulda named it the "Screamin' Eagle TALL Glide" and man, she sure makes a racket goin' into first, but what a sweet ride!  The 110" has some pretty decent power stock, too.  I swear I feel it loosening up with every mile.  Overall, I'm pretty glad I made the switch and the things I still like better about the SEEG I think can be changed with a few $$$s.

[Cvostu]

Oh don't worry.  Plenty out there will be happy to take your hard earned $$ to help you try and improve things. there are some things to get used to. My biggest thing is how the new bike sits up higher and seems so smooth. Few mods will improve the motor.

That's funny! Did you notice when you rode mine that it sat lower than yours. I went with the 940's in the rear which allows it to feel 1" lower (small spring on top compresses when you sit on it) and left preload spacers out on the front monotubes as recommended by Progressive. That drops the front down about 1/2". I noticed difference as soon as I sat on my bike after install. Not worried about floorboards scrubbing and didn't extend my floorboards since I'm using the switch blades and just turn my feet out on them. Love it!

Well, I went straight from the SEEG to yours, so I was expecting it to be taller than that bike.  Compared to my SEUC, I'm not sure. Let's meet up for some throwed rolls and then I can tell ya for sure.   I am enjoying the ground clearance quite a bit, so I expect I'll get used to the added height over time.  You can sure tell the center of gravity is quite a bit higher on this bad boy, though.

Brian,

I would have almost swore that I saw you near Maggie Valley this past Memorial Day...caught up with the bike but it had the wrong license plate...Enjoy that bike!
