Default New Wide Glide Owner in the Frozen North

Hello all, I'm a new forum member and I thought I would introduce myself. I found this sight last summer when I was dreaming about my first Harley.

The variety of customization of the bikes on this forum was amazing. In the end I was able to choose my bike, and customizing direction with the help of forum members who had already done it.

I wound up with a 2011 Wide Glide black/flame paint. Aftermarket mods include: Arlen Ness A/C, Harley Tuner, Vance & Hines BSS, Assorted Dark Custom covers, jim's 2" riser spacers, detachable sissy bar, Lepera Daytona Sport Seat, Sundowner for two-up, and flush mount gas guage and gas cap.

I will continue to follow this forum, because I've learned that a Harley is never really complete.

P.S. I find it weird that I owned a Honda Shadow for 8 years, and did not do a darn thing, but ride it. No extras. Harley is doing something right.

Thanks guys and gals.

Ben

He can't post pics yet. I think he needs 5 or 10 posts to be able to that.

Anyway, congrats and welcome to the club!

Thank you all for the welcome. As soon as I am able to post some pics I will. I haven't hardly had it out of the garage. Minnesota is still trying to rid itself of the winter snow.
