Hello everyone. Longtime lurker, so thank you to everyone for all the info over the years.
I currently have an 08 FXSTC I bought new. I've kept it because I only really do day trips. Ride the mountains and backwoods mostly. Just like bikes simple.
Few more posts and can try and figure out how to post a pic her.

Thanks guys.
Well, this is it. Haven't done a whole lot compared to most here. Engine is stock except for 2" Rush slip ons and a breather/filter. Has a C&C squareback seat (highly recommended) and a set of Harley Street Slammer bars.
It's got about 23k on it. Thinking maybe this winter I will get rid of the garbage compensator and change the inner primary bearing.

Thanks guys. I'm in Maine so my riding season is a little shorter than many of you.
I know the style is a little dated these days, but so is mine!😁
You know how it is when something is comfortable and familiar? It just feels like an old friend.
