I've got the exact same bike! 1550/2600 is my number I think. Love it this machine! Thought about trading it in, but just can't seem to let'r go.
Advice? Ride the sh&t out of it. It likes that and everything else the other members said.
Enjoy!

I had 2 Softail Customs (both Evos) and wish I never sold 'em. Best lookin' profile of any Harley, and I love the 105th colors. Had a 105th Superglide.
Advice? Just 3 things I would do:
1. Install a Screamin' Eagle Hi-flo air cleaner (looks stock from your pic) & do a race tune with a dyno run--you will be amazed at the horsepower,torque,and ridability gain. Not to mention how much cooler it will run. And with the pipes you have, it's a good idea,too. Better for your motor.
2. If you ride mostly solo, and it isn't already done (hard to tell with the bags) have it lowered. Nothin' says "RIGHTEOUS" like a lowered FX Softail.
3. Dump the fugly SofCustom seat,with that horrible brown stripe, for a Badlander, a solo, or other custom seat. Keep the stocker for long trips.
Then, ride the dogsnot outta it!!
That is one righteous sled. I'm jealous!!

Congratulations on the new ride!
Advice? Ignore anyone that criticizes your choice in bike and ride the crap out of it. Then decide what YOU think needs to be done. It will tell you over time.
