Hey ALL,
I just joined this forum today.
I bought an '01 FXDWG2 in October of 2000 (The day of my retirement party from Sheriffs Office), then stupidly traded it for a 100th Anniversary Ultra in '03 because my ridin' buddy's were all gonna' ride to California from South Florida and I could not afford (at the time) two motorcycles...I HAD TOO MANY BOATS!....The ride never happened. I missed Scarlet soooooo much all these years. It was my very first Harley (owning an H-D had been on my bucket list the whole time I was a Deputy). I sold the Ultra a year ago. I've been searching for JUST THE RIGHT REPLACEMENT FOR MY FXDWG2 for 5 years. I found one quite by accident three weeks ago with very low mileage in LIKE NEW CONDITION with very LOW MILEAGE. I Bought it on 2/26/2013. I replaced the tires (Don't trust 13 year old tires, no matter how "NEW" they look) and put 140's on it...Changed ALL the fluids, rebuilt the carb...THEN Rebuilt both calipers and both master cylinders today (brake fluid is NOT BRAKE FLUID anymore after 12 years...I found out the hard way). Took her out for a ride about an hour ago. Rides like a new one...Looks like a new one. SHE DREW A SMALL CROWD AT BOTH H-D DEALERSHIPS I WENT TO (It's Bike Week here in Florida...). Some of the riders had no idea what it was, but they wanted one. Some actually thought it was a 2013 at first, and then noticed the carb...
My Dream Bike is now home. I have to agree that it is the sexiest motorcycle on the planet.
I'm in heaven...again.
