I did. and everyone raves about it. EFI is Delphi and the engine doesn't require valve adj. May still have to shift focus back to the bobber. The scoot seems to be hard to come by. I've found nothing but praise for the scoot but I'm ready to buy now.

Passed on the scooter and ordered the glide version, (matt black). from extremescooters.biz. Also ordered the 38T sprocket, and white jell grips from Old Bike Barn. Went 38T because of reported mounting lug issues and I wanted to reduce torque a little. Sounds crazy as hell, but I'm thinking of painting her olive drab with WWII emblems. Powder coat rims and spokes black.

I don't want this thread.

Glide refers to the "standard" forks/shocks on modern bikes as opposed to springer/girder front ends that were used prior. Had I seen your simple question posted above the photo, I would have answered. Usually just lurk on forums gaining what info I can and then ask questions if I have any.

Sorry to all about the off track blow-up. The other thread is just so large and hard to find info on that I will continue to post questions and comments on this one and hope someone reads and responds. I will try to limit my posts to tech and mods. I see great value in the other thread as community is an important part of the expierence, but I am more interested in facts. If you have tech or mod info, please feel free to post it here also.

I ordered the glide version on Fri for $2K plus shipping. I see that they have raised the price of both versions. The glide went up $448 and is within about $150 of the springer. That should increase sales of the springer! The only reason I chose the glide was the price difference. Scooter Depot is still adding the $99 surcharge and calling it a parts warranty. Must be legal, but sure not honest and a good indication of their business ethics.

Roadkill,

I'll stay off this thread so you can have it to yourself.

Gokarts USA under parts, bobber custom parts, has a few parts for Tha Heist that might fit our bobbers. Nothing performance - mostly seat and cosmetics.

Barnone, I have great respect for both your skill and knowlege. I, as do others who might read this thread, will welcome any tech support you might wish to provide

Due to comm problem extremescooter.bz is sending me the springer for the same price as the A version! I've been extremely happy with the service so fat and the bike ships tomorrow.
