Default Finally!!

Well after a few months of constant searching/researching I finally bought my first Harley! It's a 2009 fxd with 8000 miles and mostly stock, it had a small detachable windshield and what I believe is a after market solo seat. I paid 8k for it. I was also wondering what are some of the first mods you did, and any advise you might have! Thanks

when I bought my new fatbob, after 1000 miles did stage 1 setup and changed my exhaust. added a pcv programmer and did a lot of listening on youtube at different dynas with a lot of exhaust setups install a bassani 2 into 1 setup rode for a while and did not like the sound changed to a v&h bigshot exhaust it sounded better to me. this is what a lot do to there bikes and if money is no object the sky is the limit.

Congrats! Stage 1 for me. As many have said it goes in order of priority like this:
1. Performance
2. Comfort
3. Appearance

I tend to go the direction the "deals" take me... I have compiled a list of mods I plan to do and keep an eye out for deals, trades and sales. Welcome, good luck and enjoy!
