Talking Introduction...

Hi everyone.

I hadn't posted on here in a long time, and when I did I just posted a couple questions, but I wanted to throw up an update and say another hello and introduction.

My name is Steve. I am in the Air Force and I currently live in Hawaii. I have an 09 FXDB with the Techlusion TFI fuel controller, V&H staggered short shots, and Arlen Ness Stage 1 big sucker. I just got back from a deployment to Afghanistan so, if any of you are military affiliated, you know this means I have a decent amount of cash to throw at "the beast". So... I got a LePera 10" Silhouette seat, Burly black narrow apes, and a black Burly slammer kit to drop it about 2 inches. I also plan to get the Jackyl 2 inch tank lift in the next few days. I have about a 4 inch crack in my rear fender. I plan to get my rear fender and fender brace chopped and all my tins painted. I've thought about getting my front fender trimmed up as well.

Anyway, I plan on trolling these forums a bit more now that I am back in the states. So, I wanted to say hello. I have received a lot of awesome info from these forums and fed my ride hunger while deployed by reading as well. So thanks! and I hope I can fit right in to this awesome community.

Welcome back Steve, and thanks for your service. Sorry you got stuck in such a $hit hole and couldn't make it back to CONUS. It's awesome that you have the resources to focus on your passion! Have big fun making it 'Steve's beast' and be sure to post lots of pics.
