Default My First Harley

Just picked up my first Harley on Thursday. Was looking for a new 06 Heratige but when I told the salesman how much I liked the custom Turquoise/Sand color from 05 he told me he had just taken one in on trade a couple of days before. It wasn't even on the floor yet and still back in service. It took me back to look at it and it was exactly what I was looking for and only 1900 miles on it. Already has the stage 1 air filter, download and SE slip-ons.

WOW, talk about being lucky, you sure did a good job there. Thanks for the pic of your bike, it looks great. With only 1900 mi on it and already with the stage 1, you came out just fine. Enjoy the ride.

Good looking ride. Glad you were able to find what you wanted.

I notice that the top of your bag is starting to bow. You might want to look into GotSaggyBags.Com. They have a kit that will keep the bags from sagging or loosing their shape. My wife has them on her Heritage, and they are well worth the money.

I am not involved with the company in any way. We just found them and found that they work really well.

Regards,

Bill
