TOUR WITH AUTHORITY ABOARD THE 2007 SCREAMIN’ EAGLE ULTRA

Milwaukee, Wis. (July 14, 2006) - Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) offers touring riders thrilling performance and unmatched luxury in 2007 with the introduction of the FLHTCUSE2 Screamin’ Eagle Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Powered by a new Twin Cam 110 engine paired with the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, the Screamin’ Eagle Ultra will roll down the highway with authority. Styling is updated with a new paint scheme and the new Ironside controls collection, while new convenience features include electric luggage locks and a navigation system.

The Harley-Davidson CVO program creates limited-production, exclusive motorcycles produced by teams of technicians in a special assembly area at the Harley-Davidson plants in York, Pa., and Kansas City. Approximately 4,100 examples of the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Ultra will be assembled at the York Vehicle Operations facility. The suggested U.S. retail price for the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Ultra is $33,495 ($33,595) in California).

The Screamin’ Eagle Ultra is powered by largest-displacement production engine ever offered by Harley-Davidson, the 110-cid (1800cc) Twin Cam 110, a high-performance V-Twin engine that delivers 115 ft. lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) is standard on the Twin Cam 110, as is a custom oil cooler with chrome cover, and chrome cross-over dual exhaust with four-inch touring mufflers. The engine is mated to a new 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission for lower cruising rpm in top gear. The powertrain is finished in black powdercoat with chrome covers.

Other new features of the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Ultra include an electric locking system for the leather-covered Tour-Pak luggage and saddlebags, activated by a switch on the dash. The new chrome-and-rubber Ironside accessories collection includes hand grips, rider and passenger footboards, shift pegs and brake pedal pad, and highway pegs. New adjustable mounts for the passenger footboards can be placed in multiple positions for a more comfortable ride. The passenger intercom outlet has been moved to a convenient location on the left speaker pod.

The GPS-based Advanced Audio Navigation System is now standard equipment on the Screamin’ Eagle Ultra, part of the 40-watt-per-channel Advanced Audio System by Harman/Kardon that also includes AM/FM/Weather Band/CB/Intercom, a single disc CD/MP3 player, and 150-channel digital XM Satellite radio with three months of introductory service included.

The Screamin’ Eagle Ultra is based on the Harley-Davidson FLHTCUI Ultra Classic Electra Glide, and offers all of the premium touring amenities of that model. In addition to a host of chrome and billet accessories, special features include a leather-covered Tour-Pak with LED interior lighting, a luggage rack and a leather lumbar-support passenger backrest. The Screamin’ Eagle rolls on standard Ultra Classic Electra Glide suspension and Chrome 9-Spoke Cast Aluminum wheels. All trim is removed from the front fender, and a lightly smoked low windshield completes this bike. Rider and passenger accommodations include a custom leather heated touring seat and heated hand grips. Instruments with spun-aluminum faces are mounted below a custom black-leather inner fairing pad with chrome trim.

The Screamin’ Eagle Ultra will be offered in three exclusive color combinations: Lightning Blue Pearl and Midnight Pearl, Black Ice and Electric Orange, and Light Candy Cherry and Black Ice, all with a Pearl accent. The vented lower fairings and inner fairing and switch panel are color-matched to the selected paint scheme. A Harley-Davidson Smart Security System with Smart Siren, an indoor storage cover with CVO logo, and a commemorative CVO key in a presentation box are also included.
