Is the 2006 harley electra glide standard a pretty good machine?

Question

It has a carb and only 950 miles on it.

Answer 1

Yes it is. HD did a remarkable turnaround over the past 20 years. It is a world marque these days. There was some problem with the twin cam design but there is a fix. 06 may be out of the range for fault anyway. Ask biker for life. Else, these are great bikes...... accessories anyone?

Answer 2

Are you sure it is a 06; I thought Harley only had fuel injected models starting in 06. I may be wrong.  That has very low miles and a great bike.

Answer 3

Of course it is.. its a Harley.  Also, you'll be able to buy an amazing number of bolt-on accessories (both HD licensed and non-licensed) to really personalize your ride and give you the appearance of a true biker.  Don't forget to buy some of the new HD motorclothes!  The new line is awesome and is a great compliment to any HD t-shirt collection.

Answer 4

EFI on HDs started in 1995

Answer 5

No- efi started with the '07's. I have both an '06 88 and a '07 110 SE. I like the carbed 88 a lot, the problems mentioned are with the 96 motors. Should be said... my 88 is B motor, your glide I think is rubber mount. Put a K&N air cleaner on it and a set of good pipes... re jet with a competent shop who can dyno and you'll have as much or more HP than the 96 with out the heat problems.

Answer 6

The 06 Electra glide is a very good machine. I prefer the carb instead of the EFI.  The twin cam engine is a pretty good motor and  in 06 they fixed the "weak" oil pump problem that they were having on some of the earlier models.  I would buy it and not be worried about it at all
