i traded in my 05 roayl star tour delux. hell of a nice bike but wanted the x bones more.

hard to believe i allready bought about 2k in aftermarket stuff and it dosnt look like much. LOL after i get them rims powder coated red and the spokes yellow. i will be much different. the throttle would not snap back when you let off. so harley fixed it right today and gave me 100 bucks instore . so i go some ***** g skull covers. i got the rear nut axles. timeing cover and dearby cover. the bub exhaust will be in in a few days. sould be awesome. cant wait to make this theing louder. dont get me wrong i have ridden a lot of metric bikes and the harley stock exhaust is the proabbly the best stock exhaust i have ever herd.

and there were a couple little scratches on the front of the spedo counsil and one pin ***** size chip in the tank they are going to replace both with new. and because i live 50 miles away they are going to come pick up the bike install the stuff and bring it back to me for free. i know harleys cost more but service like that makes it worth every .01 and they threw on all the willey g skull stuff today.

could not be happier with the purchas for dillion brothers harley of omaha ne
got me a 09 at a price i thought imposiable.

Don't know about the duck on your bones but I might like one on my truck or Wrangler.

Great bike, by the way, and really glad to hear someone praise a dealer and service. Need to see pics when those wheels are done.
