Default "Lurker" No More!!!

FINALLY after about a year and a half of lurking and researching, I purchased my ("New" to ME) '07 Street Bob - "Bria"...First Harley/First BIKE!!! I looked at the Iron 883 for a long while, but knew I would soon want to upgrade. Following the advice of someone on a Sportster forum after sitting on a 'Bob at the motorcycle show in Chicago (Rosemont), I knew that the Street Bob FELT like a better "fit" to me! Figure I will NOT be speeding anytime soon, so I can "learn" as I go over time on this bike. My 20 mile ride home was "interesting" with several take off - stall outs, but I made it home and have been riding and IMPROVING for the past week.

Now comes the DREADED part - resisting the "MOD" urge until the WINTER!
Bike CAME with a nice set of Pipes & Progressive shocks, so I don't have to purchase those, but R6C 14" Apes & Joker machine A/C may be some LATE riding season upgrade(s). Hopefully the (sales ad) pics show up.

THANKS for ALL the info obtained in this forum!

Looks like the bike has a Taillight conversion as well. I could be wrong not sure about 07 stock tails. Looking good. Be safe.

Great suggestion. Also, "Proficient Motorcycling" is a good read for safe riding instruction.

Congrats on the "new to you" ride! Soon you will get that Mod fever and then you will make it your own work of art.
Ride safe, keep the shiney side up!
