2006 Harley-Davidson ELECTRA GLIDE CLASSIC

Notes:

ucked inside the engine cases of all 2006 Harley touring models is a new three-phase, 50-amp, 650-watt charging system that should keep that ol’ battery charged despite running the standard electrical equipment and all those additional bulbs for the rally light show. It represents an increase in charging output that ranges, according to model, between 11 and 32 percent.The Twin Cam 88 engine has been around since 1999, an air-cooled, 1,450cc, 45-degree V-twin that generated 65.0 rear-wheel horsepower on the Borla dyno in stock, non-California trim. While this doesn’t sound like much in comparison with other big-inch bikes, it’s OK as many riders treat their stock Harleys as a starter kit for bigger and better things-like Harley’s Screamin’ Eagle performance parts. More importantly, the engine was already generating 60.1 lb-ft of torque at a lowly 2,100 rpm, peaked at 67.4 lb-ft at 3,900 rpm, and held more than 60 all the way to redline at 5,600 rpm. Our Classic’s engine had been enhanced visually with black powdercoating, polished fin edges and chromed covers.
