@Scooter57 have moved this thread from the Welcome section to the Sportster section as you will get better responses to your question in this section.

You may also want to raise the question in this section https://www.hdforums.com/forum/ironhead-66/ as well

UPDATE - @Scooter57 I have asked the moderator of this section (Spoetster) to move the thread to the Ironhead section. Apologies for the incorrect move.
