Mission Statement
e-lectra-GlideGoodies
(eG); internet based presence with all things Electra Glide! Our vision is to design, manufacture and supply premium
products for riders of the Harley-Davidson and other V-Twin Touring Platforms: Ultra, Classic &
Standard Electra Glide, Tour Glide, Road Glide, Street Glide, Road King, Tri Glide, Sport Glide, Dyna Switchback, Indian,
Victory and Yahama Star motorcycles. "I have owned and ridden Harley-Davidson motorcycles for many years, including
AMF Shovel-Head Harleys from the '70's and several Evolution, Twin-Cam and Milwaukee-Eight models," says eGlideGoodies' founder. Like many Harley owners, we enjoy modifying and
accessorizing our bikes with ideas to improve the riding experience. As a design engineer, I want to transform
those good ideas into great products for you our customers."

| eGlideGoodies' 2016 Ultra Concept Platform |
eGlideGoodies supports all models and model years
of the Electra Glide, Street Glide, Road Glide and Road King touring platform as well as the Dyna Switchback & Milwaukee-Eight
Sport Glide. We also carry products for other V-Twin touring bikes supplied by Indian, Victory, Yamaha and Kawasaki. Above
is the eG 2016 Electra Glide Ultra Classic used to develop, test and show-case new products on the newer Project
Rushmore platform. Ergonomics is the major theme with the majority of the bike upgrades. See our Blog page for a discussion on motorcycle features we've "Lost" from Harley-Davidson's past and how to improve your current
H-D touring bike and bring many of them back.

| Testing Products in Arizona |
Above is the 1996 Electra Glide Ultra Classic
used to test products in the deserts of Arizona; including the prototype Ultra Brace for tour-paks, the WO-1
Tour-pak Organizer, Tall Touring Seat and GP-1 Storage Pouches for fairing lowers; but most importantly the LV-1
Ultra Vent for fairing lowers to improve rider comfort, especially for the rider's right side (note the black left test
fairing-lower). The LV-1 was well ahead of Harley-Davison and their OEM fairing lower vent system, which entered the market
place several years later. Below is our early model year Electra Glide, a classic 1979 1200 shovel-head. This
particular bike has been upgraded with many Goodies from our line: windshield and air vent kit, tour-pak, tour-pak liner,
inside tour-pak power outlet, TB-1 tour-pak Ultra Brace, slip-on mufflers, chrome side covers, front brake cover, fairing
lowers, stereo system CD/tape/AM-FM, handlebar gadget mount, windshield pouch, upgrade windshield, fork mounted air deflectors,
upgrade 5-speed transmission, primary balancer, over-drive ratio sprocket, license plate frame & helmet lock,
universal helmet lock and more.

of the Harley Tour-Pak. Once you've used a Tour-Pak with an Ultra Brace, you'll never want to go back to the cable! The
Ultra Brace works great around town or on tour." In the spring of '03 we introduced the Ultra Vent system for the Electra,
Tour and Road Glide fairing lowers. The Ultra Vent is an open and closable air-chute that captures and directs fresh
air to your legs and flushes stagnant hot air. The Ultra Vent provides the maximum air flow for riding comfort in
all conditions. Harley-Davidson followed and introduced their version in 2005. In the fall of '03 we released the CD
Storage Pouch for fairing lowers. This premium CD Pouch provides quick "while yo ur sitting on the bike" storage and access to CD's and other miscellaneous items. This product works great
for Electra Glides and Road Glides with the new in dash factory CD player. The CD Pouch mounts to the fairing lowers
and you retain full use of the lowers glove box. The summer '04 we introduced the GD-1, Lockable or Non-lockable,
Sealed Glove Box Doors. The GD-1 set provides added security, convenience and weather integrity to
your up-front mounted glove boxes. The hinged design allows convenient, quick and easy access to your items, without
having to go back to the tour-pak when you need security for valuables. For the Road Glide rider, eGlideGoodies developed
several products targeting this fixed fairing platform. We released the GL-1 Upper Glove Box L ock Kit in the summer of '05. We followed the GL-1 up later that fall with the GD-2 Sealed Glove Box Doors,
a product much like the Ultra's GD-1. In late 2010 we introduced the GD-2-11 for newly dressed out Road Glide Ultra
for 2011. In 2004 V-twin News announced that J&P Cycles had made the decision to offer our entire line
or products in their national Parts and Accessories Catalog for Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. In the fall of '06 we introduced a
Windshield Vent and a complete line of Vented Windshields. This new product gives riders another option for upper body cooling
on those hot days. During this time period we upgraded our line of Shorty Antennas and continue to add new Shorty antenna
varieties to this day. In the fall of 2007, to fill the void relative the Electra Glide Standard, we finally
released our GD-3 Glove Box Door into initial pre-production after years of on/off development work. The GD-3 provides
you will another option to use the open glove box. The GD-3 is now available at our online store. 2014: We continue to add new innovative products. One
example is our Flush Mount push button latch for police saddlebags. We recently redesigned the Ultra Brace for tour-paks
to optimize the bracket angle, to account for the newer ABS plastic tour-pak. In support of Project Rushmore, we've introduced
a Glove Box Lock kit for the Electra Glide Ultra Classic and Road Glide. New products
have been added for the new 2015 Road Glide as well as other American Vtiwn touring motorcycles: the Indian & Victory
platforms. In the winter of 2016 eG developed the GP-3 Lower
Fairing Storage Pouch Kit for both the Electra Glide and Road Glide models. This product is offered in either a removable
snap-lock attachment option, a velcro attachment option or a mix 'n match attachment option. Through out the 2017 riding seaon, eG introduced several new products targeting the Project
Rushmore platform as well as the Milwaukee Eight version of the Electra Glide and Road Glides. See our Blog page for details. Starting in 2018, eGlideGoodies is also carrying
products for the V-Twins: Harley-Davidson Sport Glide and the Yamaha Star Venture. Partners We also carry approved products from other manufacturers that provide improvements to the Electra
Glide, Road Glide and Road King Touring platform. You will find we have teamed up with the industries' best. We
want to be your one-stop shop for functional Electra Glide and Road Glide accessories. For many years the market
 has mainly catered to the cruisers. eGlideGoodies wants to supply functional products to riders
of the Harley-Davidson touring platform...the Baggers, the Dressers.
Stay tuned for future products designed for Electra Glides, the American motorcycle with unquestionably the most
heritage and name recognition in the motorcycle industry. Other functional parts and accessories for around town and
touring are in the works. More about New Product Development (R&D)
