1965 Electra Glide in blue wanted!

I'm looking for one of these for a photo shoot for a supplement I'm putting together for TWO magazine. It will involve Bennetts Babes.

We won't ride it - just have it for a day in the studio.

If anyone has one or knows someone with a minter, please get in touch. We want to do the shoot within the next two weeks.

If you don't have a blue one, any original one will do.

Good luck with that search. I've not seen a blue one EVER in the UK, I don't think, and not seen a red one for a good few years. But there must be one somewhere!

Thanks for the feedback - I guess if there were any around you'd know.

I have an offer of a mint red Duo (Warr's) which isn't quite an Electra Glide... but who'd ever know?!

Actually I'll throw it open a bit then - ANY original Electra Glide (from the 60s) would do.

Re: 1965 Electra Glide in blue wanted!

if you just want a generic classic Harley bagger, go with that. It will be a lovely machine.

But be warned: if the photoshoot or copy talks specifically about an Electra Glide, the ''Duo Glide'' badge on the front fender of the Warr's bike will betray you instantly. And piss off the Harley-knowing readership!

Just make sure the copy matches the photo, so to speak!

Why not use a white police Electraglide as the reference (blue) in the film was to the blue uniform and not the bike.
Paint the chicks blue. (can i paint em, please)
