Harley newbie

Just bought an 06 Softail Standard. It's been sitting for a while and needs cleaned up. Going to put our own "finishing touches" on it as well.

What websites do you all recommend for aftermarket items, ex. saddlebags, mirrors, grips? Good Prices and Good Quality?

IMO, when it comes to aftermarket stuff (personal experience) your best bet is to search extensively (from ebay to online vendors) and find the best price/quality mix for a particular item. I have bought various things from multiple sites in the past, because no one particular site offered best prices on all the items I was interested in. Quite a bit came from ebay - either known vendors selling things or individuals w/o a shop/online site. Also, check out Eastern Performance (there is a thread on them here).

Your local HD dealer should have a rather large Drag specialties catalogue with any accessory you could much imagine. By the way welcome to the softail family and to the HD forum

Congrats, welcome, blah, blah, blah.

Best off searching both online and off (and your local HD dealer). I've gotten quite a few items from a bunch of different sources - some local in PA.

I found the absolute lowest price on V&H exhaust from Hot Rodz Total Biker in Bechtelsville.

Lowest price on Kuryakyn Bags at American Classic Motors.
http://www.americanclassicmotors.net/

Just a few examples, but like I said, figure out what you want and then search for it.
