Newbie here so I just wanted to say hello. I am in the process of rebuilding a totalled 2008 Police Electraglide and since I have owned 3 Electraglides( a StreetGlide included) I decided to build it back into a Roadglide. The bike was owned by a dear friend of mine that perished in accident while riding it. He always wanted a Harley and I found this Electraglide for him online and he fell in love with it and bought it. After the accident his wife talked me into taking the bike from her and rebuilding it. The only thing she desired in return was that I ride it and not sell it. The bike suffered a lot of damage to the front end and frame. I am going to take it GMD in Atlanta and see if it can be fixed and if not then I will order a replacement frame. I have already began ordering parts for the conversion and rebuild so maybe fixing it won't take too long. I will start a thread when I start work on it in earnest. Until then, I look forward to spending some time here and gaining some knowledge along the way.

Had a spare wideglide laying around and put it on to move the scooter around. The rest of the front end was scattered along the highway.

Now the fun begins

Hopefully the frame isn't tweaked to bad and you can go ahead and restore it and rid eit in your friend's memory. Welcome to the forum from Maine.
