Thanks for all the replys ! I had a lot of fun on the trip, the only hiccup being when I parked it at a local lunch joint and someone slashed both of my tires.

But I do have a few pictures from the trip and will have a lot more once I make the trip back up again.

Speaking on mods that I want to do, I finally got to sit on a nightster with forward controls, simple answer. Yes. I am 5'7" and it seems like the perfect distance for me to stretch my legs out. A windshield is a possibility for longer runs, I would like to research a good set of throw over bags, and definatly a solo rack to put on the back.

Going on before I make the trip back up is going to be a set of street glide shocks I got off ebay :-D

Thanks again all !
