I prefer a low mileage bike. Like 2k miles a year.

Just got an email that the hogworkz crash bar is backordered 5-6 weeks yikes! I Found someone locally with one instead.

Good choice, easy to install the bar. Hopefully you never have to use it except for highway pegs! I think you are going to love your new dyna. Good luck with it and try to watch videos ,talk to experienced riders, learn as much as you can. Riding a motorcycle is a serious deal but a lot of fun and very enjoyable if done properly. Learn the safety stuff first,like where you should ride in any given lane, in different situations. The main thing is keep yourself safe and enjoy many years of riding.
