Default My '96 Convertible

Hello all! I posted up in the Dyna forum, but figured here would be more appropriate. Just recently picked up a 96 Convertible with 33k on the clock. I'm absolutely loving the bike. Used to own sport bikes, a couple dual sports and some vintage cruisers but wanted something my lady and I can ride together on, comfortably. It had forward controls and pull back drags on it when I got it, swapped to mid pegs and pull back mx bars and it's perfect now. Also added all new fluids and cables and installed the burly ez clutch. I've never been so comfortable on the bike. My plans for this winter are getting new suspension front and rear, as well as a new exhaust system as my current one is way too loud, for my liking at least. I hope to learn a lot on this forum and will enjoy spending my time here. Here's a picture of my bike as it sits (yes I have the original bags for it, unfortunately no windshield)

Great bike, good all around choice! My ‘96 Low Rider Convertible was my favorite bike. But once you start the mods, hang on!
