04 Pumpkin vs 05 Cherry...
« on: September 02, 2015, 11:22:10 AM »

Were there any differences in the two bikes?     Besides color?      Which one would you buy?

Cherry stock came with a chopped tour pak, color matched inner fairing (04's  were painted  black) and smooth lens headlight and spots... other than that the only difference I remember is the colors (same graphics). With that said... of course I would say the 04 Pumpkin was the best.  :D

Yeap, adjustable vents in the lowers on the better 05 SEEGs.

I know, I know....   It was still probably the best bike I've ever had and certainly as dialed in to me as any I've had.  But it was also going to be ridden the least.  The Road Glide, just by nature of the fixed fairing, is the better over-the-road bike and it is certainly as dialed in to me as the SEEG was and is even more comfortable.  The Road King is the best toy I've got.  So the two bases of over the ride for miles and local or regional hopping were just too well covered.  The SEEG was too cool of a bike to just set as much as it would while the others got ridden and I was too lazy to do what would still be its regular maintenance for no reason.  Along with all that though there just wan't anything left to do to it.  Still a cool bike though.  :2vrolijk_21:

Another BIG difference was the wheels, Thunderstar on the 2005 and 3 spokes (Sorry Gary, but I hate that 3 spoke more than the solid wheels ) on the 2004. I was just telling the Little One
this week that I would like to find a low mile Colbalt Blue 2004 and swap out the wheels from my Teal, then sell the Teal.

That's why I only own one bike (and car for that matter)... never owned more than one bike at a time but have had multiple cars... one (or more) are always getting neglected. More than likely this will be my last bike as I'm finding myself riding less, and less each year.... getting old, doing family stuff (wife, kids, grandkids...) just don't find the time or desire too. :nixweiss:

No worries... I liked the Detonator's (guess that's why there are so many flavors of ice cream :D)... I don't remember (I could be mistaken) but I don't remember the Detonator's being on any other bike prior to the '04's where the Thunderstars were already available prior to '05. Oh, and the solid wheels.. that is what I really liked about the Fatboy's and the reason I had one of those prior to my SEEG.

Anyway this is a great thread to take us down memory lane. :2vrolijk_21:

  I hold my tongue (and typing) when it comes to others bike, there is a couple of years of CVO that I wouldn't own for free. But like you say, that's why there are so many flavors out there, to each his own. I only mentioned you because I love your bike and didn't want to offend, it's just my opinion on the wheel.

 The Sunrise Yellow Pearl is one of the most beautiful colors ever created! My only problem is I work on yellow ( School Bus Mechanic ) all day and need something different.
That said, if I had the funds for a 3rd bike in the garage, that would be my first choice.

You're not alone in your feelings... everyone has their likes and dislikes (and bikes they wouldn't own for free)... we all good (no offense taken). :2vrolijk_21:

I agree w/that (had I not bought in '04 and got my :pumpkin:) the Sunrise Yellow is what I would be riding right now... Similar to you me driving, riding, being around red fire apparatus for work a red bike never appealed to me... nothing wrong w/them just when you see that color daily on vehicles it's like color overload when your own vehicle is that color.
