Couldn't agree more. I lived in Bentonville, AR for three years. Saw some good bikes blues and BBQ rallies.

My eye is on the FXDF. Ive already got a list of mods in my head: V&H big radius 2 into 1, HD Chrome wheels, Cobra fi2000, SE breather, possible wide glide rear fender mod, smoked lenses, etc.. .

I was wondering, when I do decide to buy, should I purchase stock and ride it a while to get to know the stock bike or should I take delivery with the mods I want and not look back? Your thoughts?

I rolled pipes/breather/tuner/dyno tune into financing when I bought the bike and we agreed that I could put 1000 miles on the bike then bring it back for the upgrades. I dont think its bad for the bike to do them all day 1 however I wanted to feel what a stock harley drove like vs a tuned one. Figured I would appreciate it that much more, glad I did.

i dont get the bell thing , ive never been asked to ring one when i bought a new bike . but im a cheap skate with no trade in and financed approved thru my bank before i go look . last time i bought a new bike there was a guy that rang the bell and the sirens went off and everyone clapped and i told the salesman how annoying that must be to listen to everytime some body bought a bike . i did get like 5 free tee shirts and a gift card for 500 bucks that i had them order me a fxrg jacket with .
