RE: How I made a good purchase!
Congrats on the bike! I am 100% biased also but all Harleys are great bikes. The most exciting part about them is making it your own so open up that pocket book. Remember to always check ebay for used harley parts. Often they are in great shape and cost about half that of the dealer. I only use the dealer for my impulse buys. Everything else is Ebay. For instance i got a set of slip-on vance and hines for $49 shipped to my house! Off some guys 07 wide glide. Great to have you on the forum. Get some pics up soon!

RE: How I made a good purchase!
Thanks everyone, the thing is I know nothing about bikes. I am a rookie. Talking about 2" inch lifts I have no clue what that means, the one thing is though I want to change the foot pegs so I can stretch out I am 6'7 is it hard to do?

Good choice!! Buy the manual.................... Keep coming back here, so we can give you lots of ideas to help you go broke.
The bike doesn't NEED anything, just regular service, gas and a willing rider. Just ride it and enjoy it for awhile, then open your check book, or pull out the plastic................ or just sit there in front of your computer and order addons to your hearts desire.
Have fun, and ride safe.

You can do a ton of stuff to it. Just order any aftermarket parts catalog and you will find lots of different accessories that you can add to your bike.
Also, I would recommend having any mechanical work done by a dealer.
