Excellent choice!
I like the black... it fits well in the graveyard setting. :wink:
Let the modding begin!
Here is my red Sparker with some mild mods for now:

Congrats on finally getting it. 
Not sure if you were like me, but my LBS doesn't normally carry Electras so when they got mine and assembled it...they thought it was seriously cool. There was even another customer there when I came to pick it up who was admiring it and he said that he would have bought the Sparker Special instead of his Raleigh Pub if he would have known about them. The funny part is that I had called about that Pub the day after it sold about six months ago.
So, how does it compare to what you thought it would be like?

Thanks man!
My LBS was a dealer - but they didn't have any on the floor. One of the mechanics, who helped me out, is a huge Electra fan (he's got a few) and he is really into cruisers/choppers...so he was excited to order it and get one into the shop. When I picked it up all of the mechanics came out in the parking lot to check it out (about 4-5 guys). It made me feel like I made a good choice.
I love it - it looks better than I thought, and it rides great. I've been out on it every night. I'm going to cruise around and take some better photos of the neighborhood to post. I live in a historic district, and we've got a ton of cool, old houses around (if you're into that sort of thing).
Thanks again for all of your input and help - I really appreciate it.
