Default First Harley, with pictures.

Been on the site for a while researching. I'm a younger guy coming from sport bikes. Finally found an FXDB pop up on craigslist and I went for it.

2007 with 9k miles, came with the following:

VH Big Radius Pipes
Stage one air cleaner
HD Race tuner
FWD Controls
2 up seat
pass pegs
various engine covers
grips to match fwd controls
Security system with smart fob

So far so good but I already purchased some polyurethane bushings for the handlebars (way to much movement for me). I'm also going to change out the foot pegs and grips. They look nice but don't provide much grip.

Also, just removed the security system today. Really easy and relatively cheap job. I'm not into the whole fob thing. Seems like it will be more trouble than it's worth and I have full coverage.

This site has been a wealth of knowledge so far. Looking forward to learning more about these machines.

Here's a few photos:

Great looking scoot. Looks like they gave you a big head start on the mods.

LOL!
I have almost 9000 miles on my 2013 Street Bob.

Nice bike with a lot of good accessories.

I don't have any issues with my fob and security system. That's a curious decision.
