Default First Harley Purchase Today
Just became the owner of a 2013 Street Bob. Pretty happy with it, but its going back to the dealer on Saturday to get the first round of changes. On the agenda is Black V&H Short Shots, RSD Turbine Air Cleaner, Smooth Pillion Seat, Passenger Pegs, and Black Front Controls. Definitely looking forward to a free flowing sound vs stock. Will post pics along the way.

Nothing like the "new bike smell" eh? Or so I've heard. Welcome to the family. See you on the road!

Its nice, but I never thought I would be this anxious to change it. In my previous Sportbike days I held out for months even years before changing it... but because I know the sound of a harley modified, its become a necessity. Bike has a 11 miles on it, and its 11 too many with the stock exhaust.

Congrats and welcome. I agree, the stock exhaust is way too quiet

Agreed, it doesn't take that much mechanical skill to do most of the stuff yourself. All of those things are pretty basic.
