10/29/2003 - My new acquisition of a Dave Perewitz Custom FLHTPI. This bike belonged to my friend John Terzakis of Custom Cycle Fab, Tequesta, FL., who's building a new custom ride for himself.
This beautiful ride also comes with a pedigree! It was a feature article in Iron Works, American Street Bike Magazine, September, 2002 & was seen on the Discovery Channel several times as one of the bikes in "The Great Biker Build-Off" Episode 2.
Customization of the brand new Electraglide Police Model, (FLHTPI), is subtle, distinct, and ultra complete. There is virtually no addition or modification that I can think to improve upon the design.
From every angle this ride is surperlative to behold. And the nicest thing is that while it's highly customized, is still a fully functional street and open highway machine. At 80 miles an hour the sixth gear on the Baker box has the engine loafing at 3,000 rpm. The fully isolated 95 c.i.d. engine is so quite and smooth that you hardly realize it's running.
