A whole new frame to make it much more agile and nuetral. The bike will stand straight up with no lean, very well balanced. The new brembo brakes with optional abs (Ihave) are great for stopping. Especially like you said when you're most of the time over a half ton. The bike alone weights in at like 970#. .

It was an '04 I think... Looked IDENTICAL to the one I had in the pic except it had fringe hanging from the levers and laced wheels. I read about the upgrades on the new Electra's when the bike rags were swooning over them. Honestly though, as long as I had that 6th gear I would have been real happy with the one I rode.

Trust me... night and day improvement on the 2009 + years. You would be surprised. They look the same... but way no, they aren't. That is a HD thing. Make it look like it always has, but perform better. Also, yes, they have a standard 6speed now... I think 2007 or 08
