Almost done in afghanistan..
Vivid black 2011 FXDC arriving at the house this week.
Already picked up everything for my stage one kit..
Vance and Hines 2-2 Big Radius (Chrome)
RSD Venturi 5 AC
Waiting on a response from Jaimie at Fuel Moto for the PC5
Also picked up..
Black Contrast Cut Progressive 430s 12 in stock height
Kurakyn Trigger Levers
Willie G Derby Cover and valve stems for that bit of nostalgia
The LED Combo Speed/Tach thats fully customizable
Corbin Hollywood solo in black leather with high gloss carbon fiber side panels to go with the paint.
Gonna put drag bars on it, but i need to be home to take the measurements to get the proper pullback and rise, etc.
Anything else you all can think of whether cosmetic or functional that would help me out. Going for a good mix of chrome and black.
Is the security system worth it? I figure 2-4 big dudes with some blocks of wood could steal my bike if they wanted too and stick it in the back of a truck...etc.
Thanks to DHP and Zannoti's for all the savings.

Thanks for your service brother! Did Desert Shield, Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Know that feeling of coming home! But.........your wayyyyyy ahead of me cuz I didn't have a brand new bike waiting for me. Did have a divorce waiting though.......the bike came a month later!!!! It was a new start, on a new life. The bike really helped getting it all back together again.

Im 5'7, I dont think i could stretch to forward controls..i might get some highway pegs to see how i like that to see if its feasible.
Just bought the Kuryakyn low profile tailight smoked. Front turn signal fork relocation, rear turn signal tuck reclocation kits. Smoke lenses with the visors. Visor trim ring for the front headlamp. Chrome low profile front axle nut covers, chrome rear axle nut covers.
I will get grips when i do the bars, if anyone has any suggestions im open to them. Still looking for a good set of bags as well. Looked at tons people recommended just havnt decided.
Just trying to make it mine...

Thanks for your service bro. I did the same thing when I was in Afghanistan. Had a new Fat Bob waiting when I arrived an a new baby boy that showed up two weeks later.

Thank You
I appreciate all the responses. Thank you for the well wishes on the rest of my deployment and for my service. Its an honor to serve this country. If we could just get the career politicians off of capital hill we might have a chance of fixing this ole lady yet.
