Default This is what happens when you buy a bike in the Winter

Ok here are all the stuff I have put on my bike. 2008 Street Bob. This is what happens when you buy a brand new bike in December when you live in Boston. You can’t ride so you add parts and then add more parts. Just got the parts back from the powder coater so I will snap pics this weekend when I put the rear fender struts back on along with the new Progressive shocks.

My bike is starting to look like what I envisioned when I bought it but my but my wallet is getting lighter and lighter. But I loved every minute of it!!!

The Exaust is on and it is loud. Thing I may need to get the quite baffles.

Oh yeah this is my first post

- Black Progressive 412 shocks
-Vance and Hines Side Shots
-Fuel Pack
-Harley Stage One Screaming Eagle Air cleaner
Powder coated Parts[/b]

Howdy and Congratulations from Michigan, I can relate to the no-ridiing season...
The mods sound good, but for the "official record" we're gonna need some pics.

I always buy bikes in January. My dealer has a $1000 off MSRP sale and full inventory. Plus their attitude towards dealing on price is different when there is 2 feet of snow on the ground and only 2 customers in the showroom on a Saturday. Their first question is "how soon do you want to take delivery?" If you tell them "today" they start humping your leg....

Welcome to the Hundred Dollar Club!

Doesn't matter when you buy your sled, customizing it to fit you is always expensive.

Before long you will be in the thread, "Things I wished I hadn't bought".

Ride safe!! Oh! And Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
