Default New Here

Hi All, I 'm new here, was just a looker for awhile, but thought I 'd join in the conversations. A little about my bike [sorry no pictures yet] it's an 07Softail Custom, black, has the chrome front end kit, 16" Apes, directionalsmoved to the fork, stage 1 set up [se a/c, sert, and rush 2.25 slip ons ], and 3" extended foot pegs. I love the bike and it runs great. Although the stock seat was extremely comfortable, I recently bought a Harley Reto seat hoping to get a little more room [ I'm 6'3" and kind of long legged ]. Lately I've been thinking of taking off the left mirror and mounting the right hand mirror underneath the bar on the left side. Any comments on the plus or minus on that idea?
