Brian,  Beautiful SERG you have there.  Looks even better next to the SEEG.  I missed something though.  Can't find the thread in which you were originally telling us about the SERG.  Wondering if you updated us on the negotiation process.  Did you, and if so, can you point me to the thread?  Thx.

You really ought to find that thread Henry.  It was a great story.  He marched in there with a pugil stick of a chip on his shoulder.  Told the dealer they were losing money every damn day that POS bike was just darkening his sales floor and to get real and sale the damn thing right now.  Apparently the dealer even cried; like a little girl.  Just fell to his knees and said "yes sir, thank you sir, would you like another sir" and then unbottoned his shirt collar a little only to let be seen a spiked leather collar beneath it.

Do you know where it is?

Can you tell which one is fresh off a detailing job and which one is "Screamin'" out for one?

Brian,
Congrats again they look great together. You know now that you own a B/O bike you will be held to high standards of detailing. Not to discredit your abilities as they are now, but you must know when you own a B/O or O/B scooter the bar is raised just a little bit more.

 
Ride Safe,

You ain't right, Don!

This here's the one and only thread, Henry: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=16713.0  Don't worry, you won't see me on any 2:00am infomercials selling DVDs or books on how to negotiate motorcycle purchases.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

I put about 110 miles on the bike putting around with the wife this afternoon.  Um, does anybody want a nice, used SEEG?   Well, just kidding, but this bike (the SERG) is reallllllly a sweet ride!  Runs pretty good for a stock bike, handles GREAT, and looks amazing!  I need to get a Clearview shield on it really bad once I decide what height, but I really think besides that, grips (see below) and a good cleaning, I am going to try to leave this bike alone and limit the mods to the SEEG.

A couple things I don't really care for . . . . . d@mn cable-operated clutch is one.  Coming off of an '02 Electra Glide Classic, I immediately fell in love with the hydraulic clutch on the SEEG when I got it 4 years ago next month, and now riding a bike without it feels prehistoric.  There is absolutely no feel to the thing whatsoever.  Also, I am really spoiled with the Brembos on the SEEG.  These stock Harley calipers pretty much suck, IMHO.  And last (albeit minor) thing is the "chrome and rubber" grips the SERGs come with.  My hands hate 'em!  I will have to do Kury Iso Grips or some other style of H-D grip to get ride of the hard, and uncomfortable things that are on there now.

The detailing excercise is going to begin this evening.  Unfortunately, I have to work for a few hours tomorrow morning, but then plan to hit it again in the afternoon.  I got a little head start while waiting for momma to get around this morning, and I think this bike is going to clean up real well!

Thanks again for all the compliments!

When you get it cleaned up I'll take it off your hands, I wouldn't want you to keep something that you don't like


PS

It looks really nice and you were lucky to find it.

Really, really, nice bike, Brian.  Glad you were able to come to tems with the purchase.  WHEN you change out the handlebars, you can do the grips, clutch, and other trinkets that go inside and outside the bars then... .

How does it feel with the fairing not moving with the bars when you turn...took a little getting used to for me on the Ducati, but really liked it once used to it.

Nice bike...slap some Glare on it, and it'll be putting our eyes out!!  Congratulations!!

Terry, I rode Kawasaki Concours' for several years prior to switching to the Harleys.  They had a frame mounted fairing, so if feels sorta like that, though it does take some getting used to coming from the Electra Glide.  I like that the two bikes have a different feel, though.  It will keep me interested in riding both that way.

As for the Glare . . . . that stuff is the CHIT on the black AND the orange!
