Just traded my 09 sportster custom for a 10 FXD. Great, smooth ride. However I'm a little over 6' so I'm taking it in for the forward mounts.
Also getting windshield.

 

Congrats on the new bike. You will love it. Let me be the first to say "we need pics."

 

Thanks Nevil, I'll post pics soon.

Also, what is mph for 3000rpm and 3500rpm for the FXD ?

 

Congtrats on the scoot.

 

.SWEET!!!!!!I wanted the forward controls when I bought the 2010 FXDC but refused to pay the $700 HD wanted for parts and labor.....I will attempt to add myself with a helping hand from a good friend......my problem is;I dont know which mod to begin with(exhaust,controls,etc..)It will be a slow process(maybe a year or two)but when she is done it will be well worth the wait

 

3000
1st- 24.7
2nd- 35.9
3rd- 48.3
4th- 58.7
5th- 70.3
6th- 82.6

3500
1- 28.9
2- 41.9
3- 56.3
4- 68.5
5- 82.0
6- 96.3

 

I just purchased the 2010 FDX also. I financed the bike with Forward Controls, Auxiliary Running Light / Brake Light / Turn Signal Conversion Kit, and V&H Straightshots HS Slip-ons. I am a little concerned about popping on decel. The dealer told me I do not need to do anything if I am just doing a slip on. Should I go with the quite baffles to eliminate the popping if it occurs? I read they create more back pressure. I can not afford to do any type of tuner right now.

 

Nevil,

Thanks for the rpm/ mph guide !!

 

I traded in my 2002 FXWDG on the 2010 FXDC. I loved my Wide Glide.
I'm starting to love the '10. Like the 49mm front end. Very stable.
So far I've done the following:
Full chrome front end lowers kit.
Front turnsignal relo kit.
Brake, turn & running light modual.
Swaped out both front and rear disc's for full floating
with black center & chrome bolt kit.
Stage 1 kit & download.
Chrome forward controls. (A life saver for my knees).
Khrome Werkes tapered slip-on mufflers.
Chrome covers for the valve cover bolts.
Smooth chrome points cover.
Some chrome allens here & there.
Next I want to swap out the seat for fastback/gunslinger style.
CC Seats makes a great one for a good price.
I'll have to take some pics soon.

 

Can I ask why you needed the rpm/mph guide? It should be in your manual.
