My Current Ride! 2004 FLHTCI




After I sold the XLH, I searched all over N. Ohio and finally bought a 2004 E.G. Classic off Roeder's Harley-Davidson in Monroeville, Ohio. My Home Dealership!

Friend Bruce K. showed me a Road King, and I could have bought it if it hadn't been such an ugly color, but thank God he talked me into the '04 he had taken in trade the prev. fall.

It was even my favorite color! BLACK!

Told Bruce I wanted a Road King so I could take the windshield off and enjoy the wind. He showed me the Shortie windscreens. I said I wasn't sure about the Tour Pak, He did the Detachable Hardware for me.

BUT! What really sold me, the day I took it for a test ride I took along one of my favorite CD's and Jammed to Bernard Allison! WOW! Life is GOOD!

Here's my baby sitting next to a 1954 Panhead! Check out the 50 year anniv. Plaque on the Panhead! That's the same one I had on my '54 HD!

I have put over 30.000 miles on it so far. And that is working 12 to 16, some 20 hour days, mostly 7 days a week all last year!

The upgrades I did to this machine beside NUMEROUS Skull Chrome is:

    Stage One with Hooker Slip-on Pipes
    Set of 203 Cams
    Screamin' Eagle Clutch Spring
    Easy Pull Clutch
    The new Screamin' Eagle Super Tuner
    Had it Dyno Tuned. 82hp and 92 ft/lb of Torgue - Not bad for Very MINIMALLY Modified 88 in. Motor!
    Nascar Glass Windshield by F4Customs.com! Will NOT scratch!
    Custom Made SS Batwing Braces so I don't have to keep replacing stock ones!
    Set of Lowers off of ebay!
    HOGTUNES Speakers w/20 oz. Magnets! Highly Recommeded!
    Skull Highway Pegs
    Kuryakyn ISO Grips w/Throttle Boss
    Mandatory Running Light Tail light Module!
    French Chrome rings around all the lights!
    Smoke Lenses on front T.S.
    HALOGEN Headlight!
    Adjustable Backrest for ME!
    Skulls on almost but not quite everything!

    Oversized Performance Air Filter

Anyway, lots of other toys added also, and it ain't no Garage queen! It sees Rain and even snow a time or Three! I will Update this as I remember other things I want to share!

Have 50,000+ miles on it now, and it's just waiting for an Early Ohio Spring to be set loose! (Update: May and have 53,000 on it now.)

Here's My Baby on the Blue Ridge Parkway!
