Finally got the picture from the dealer that they took when I picked up the new '05 Road King Classic

Was there a long wait?

Nice Ride!! Just in time for Sturgis??

Hog

Actually there was no wait at all. It was in stock on the floor.

I'd love to make Sturgis but there's no way I'd be able to arrange my schedule to make it this year. Hopefully next year. We'll hit bike week in Daytona for 2006 I'm sure.

Well keep the Shiney Side Up!!

That does have the air suspension right?

Thats a cats azz!! I got spoiled with the Air Ride!!

Hog

Oooohhh... it has shiny parts and leather. I like that in a bike.

Deb

yup...it's got the air suspension.

Already made some upgrades to it: replaced the stock mufflers with Vance & Hines (for the true Harley sound), fuel pack system, got rid of the stock seat and replaced with a Sundowner solo seat, installed a set of Kuryakyn switchblade footpegs for highway cruising, and added a headlamp visor.......for now.

Is that Golden Gate Harley Davidson?

sweet ride.... try to make it to Myrtle Beach next year and I'll meet ya at Peaches Corner for a beer and a smoke

Did they happen to take a picture of your empty wallet at the same time?

Sweet ride, congrats. Maybe someday when my kids are grown and outta the house, I'll have the money and time to invest in one of those beauties.

jcwbnimble.

Nice bike! Looks like you could bench press it a couple times as well.

Nice ride!

The only thing that IS very nice, but is hard to maintain nicely are those spokes. Stay on top of those babies, cause they sure look sweet when they shine, but look like crap if let go.

Dont take that as a negative thing. I love the spokes, just treat em right...

Thanks All.....

that's a no on being Golden Gate Harley. I'm on the east coast.

EI, if things work out I'll definitely get in touch with you about Myrtle Beach next year. That's in May, correct?

The first weekend I put a good coat of wax on the whole bike including the spokes. Now THAT was a pain. Now after I wipe it down or wash it I use a spray wax just to keep things protected and it makes it much easier for cleanup (and bug removal).

Yep in May Just after mothersday.. do go at the end of May thats black bike week... Whole different atmosphere


as for waxing the bike... try Protect All. You can find it in Wal-mart around the RV stuff.
It comes in a spray bottle Use a scotts blue shop towel on the roll and spray it on rub it in and then wipe it off.
I won't cake up around the creases and crevices, You can use it on the chrome, leather plastics and paint also and it works great on a windshield to get the bugs off without scratching

I have used it on all my bikes for years

soft bristle toothbrush and S100 Carnuba (sp) Wax... best stuff on the market.. Mothers Chrome polish to get the tar and hard bugs off and a couple of shammies...

Hog

S100 for bike wash... Orange Blast for the wheels

synthetic "ABSORBER" towel to wipe it down (last longer than a chamois)

Dam is there a Mrs. Maduro, oh I mean nice bike!! I have friends who happened to catch black bike week last year and they brought me back a tshirt. Too funny, but I cant seem to find the tshirt anywhere, oh dam!!
