Right here.

Right here.

Thanks Henry!

That's fine but not for me!
Right color.
Maybe could make enough power?
But that seat has to go.
Nancy and I are a team, if we both can't fit then I don't want it.
Hell, even the 49cc scooters will fit both of us on them.
With both of us on the scooter they are slower than snail chit but we do fit!

Right now Dennis has it configured with a sidecar.

Chip, in the near future I am going to be in the same position, Bumpus is going to call and tell me the 08 Casper is in. I am 99% positive I'm going to tell them to call the next dumb a$$. Until they have a decent track record on the 110, I'll pass. Chit, close to 40K (including sales tax) plus another at least 10K to make it mechanically acceptable, then pick it up and head out on a trip, chits on me after an hour, gets towed home, catch a flight, then borrow a bike, not to mention let people get pictures of me riding bitch? Not a chance, I'll leave that fun for New Yorkers!
Anyway, call the sales manager Tuesday and tell him the hot sumbitch is his problem. You'll be saving 50K to spend on making a bike exactly like you want it and reliable. JMHO

100% What MJZ said 

[Twolanerider]

Chip, it's only one guy's opinion of course, but from the options you listed I'd personally not go with the new bike. 

Whatever you get is only going to be a platform to start from anyway.  There aren't that many SERG's to begin with.  Far fewer represented here on the site.  Despite 103's recent acquisition they're a rare bird.

They are old enough, however, that there have been a few real bargains seen in the last year.  Of all your options listed that would be my personal starting platform.  You'd have your CVO bike again.  In fact a far more unique CVO bike than any new one would ever be.  And you could start the project with a much smaller investment affording the opportunity to play even more.

I've seen your bikes enough to know you'd not just be hacking up a SERG.  You'd be enhancing it in every area you touched.  Irrelevant that you'd changed from its original form.  It would still be a great looking and good handling bike almost purpose built to the way you personally really enjoy using a dresser.

That's my notion from your considered options anyway. 





(And a sweet byproduct would be that in a few years when you retired this toy and wanted another I'd know where to find a kickass SERG for sale!)

I am having similar thoughts as I wait for mine ...

[Hoist!]

Keep it, and put the 131 in it!

Hoist!

[MJZ]

Howie, didn't you read the post a couple above this one?  It is not any fun ribbing you if your not going to give me chit back. I know, you must have been too tired, here it is to read when you get up, I'll give you another chance.

Have been pondering what I wanted to do next about another bike. I have seen others ask advice so I thought I would ask my friends on this site to offer their opinion.

In a conversation with Hoist the other day we were discussing the how much we both enjoy a bike that responds when we twist the throttle. Bling is great, handling is important but when I consider spending money on a bike the first thought is how much horsepower return will I get from my investment.

I thought I would list a few options that I have been pondering and see what you think.
A few of the options I have already ruled out not because they were bad but just because I don't want to go in that direction.

Option  1

Take the two 03 Classics and make them both 95". Tman heads, cams, pistons, HPI T/B, SERT and D&D Fatcats.
Quality work takes mucho money. This would cost between 8 to 9 K to do it right. This would yield 110/110
H/T.  After we rode both of these bikes to Hot Springs and back I have to wonder why I should even mess with two bikes that will run a hundred all day long and not even break a sweat. Spend 9 K on them and the bikes are worth no more than when they were stock.  NOT A GOOD OPTION!

Option  2

Find a 03 silver and black Road Glide and add a Jim's 131 with the standard Tman head, cam, piston, T/B, Boarzilla,
clutch, 6 speed goodies. I have always wanted to break 150 (a real 150, not some B/S talk about it) with a dresser and the SEEG ran 142 in Maxton and I believe with the fixed fairing and the 131 I can get there.

Option  3

Same as above but with a S/Eagle Road Glide. After all, this is a S/E site maybe I should get another one some day. This option was high on the list till Brian 103T bought his SERG. After listening to him I am having a hard time justifying swapping motors and transmissions on such a classic bike. (thanks Brian, damnit!)

Option  4

When the 08's were announced I asked my guy at the Harley shop to put my name on a white S/E Ultra.
Well it came in yesterday. We had demo day at Harley Davidson of Charlotte today and they always ask Nancy and I to run that show. I brought the 08 S/E Ultra around to the demo tent so I could salivate as it sat in front of me all day. At the end of the day they said to take it home and call us when you decide if you want it. We left two bikes at the shop and rode the 08 home. I think it's a beautiful bike and as I was riding home I was calculating what I would do to it. You know, Tman heads, cams, pistons, SERT and R/H true duals. I parked it in front of the house and sat there and looked at this bike a long time.  I'm just not sure how much this rings my bell. And then there's that 110 consideration. It's only a few miles home from the Harley shop and this puppy was hot as hell. And to cap it off when I pulled down the drive to take the picture, the check engine light came on and wouldn't go off. Decisions, decisions what to do?
Option  5

I am very fortunate to have a great job that rewards hard work very well. I give to charities and sometimes feel bad about having the toys that I do. I guess I could give money to the starving kids in the rain forest but when the major charities keep 80 to 90% for administrative cost I pass on those also. I love speed and will probably pick options 2 thru 4 when I finally decide.

I would like to hear opinions as to what you think you would do if you were in my shoes.
Thanks

Here's a few pictures of the Ghost!
damn check engine light!     

That alone make it an easy choice - Get rid of it NOW - while you still can it's asking you do it.

F.Y.I. just saw a SERG for sale (not sure year its the orange and black) looks like it's in great condition.Heard it run, sounds good. Didn't look closely as I'm not a RG fan. It's at Killer Creek H.D. 770-777-1000 ask for Wayne or Pat. If You wanted I can Check it out. Seams Like it's my second home lately.

P.S. I'm not associated with the dealer.(unless you count them having all my money !!)

Thanks for your post.
I looked at that one and @ 17K$'s with 35K miles on it I think it's WAY to much!
That makes Brians seem like much more of a bargain. (I think)
The best thing going for me is that I rarely get the "Got to haves".
The economy is slowing, winter is coming so timing will be in my favor.

I have narrowed my choices down to an 03 Road Glide in silver and black or a Screaming Eagle Road Glide.
If anybody knows of one please let me know!
The 08 Ultra has no place in my garage.
