Default Exhausted... pick up my Dyna tomorrow

Bought my new 2007 FXDWG a week ago tomorrow and have been waiting for the V&H Staggered Big Shots to arrive.

Traded my 2006 Honda VTX 1300C. Was a great bike... just wasn't a Har.... Anyway, got the Wide Glide in Platinum Pearl and am doing the pipes, race tuner, airbox, pegs, pedals and grips right from the get-go.

Haven't slept more that 3 hours a night all week due to the excitement. Is this normal?

Anyone else running V&H pipes? How do you like 'em?

Can't believe it... they're done with college... out of the house and I finally got it!

<yelling> "yee haw".

Don't have the pipes but I wanted to congratulate you on 'finally' gettting the bike, after the kids college. The lack of sleep is to be expected. Along with that, you'll get a new empty wallet syndromeEnjoy it and ride safe.

Congrats on your new bike.......I built a custom VTX1800 last year, they are amazing bikes but I prefer the hands on mechanics of my old girl......
