Neilrider, you have an awesome bike. You are going to love the springer and the attention it gets anytime you stop. If the dealer installed the windshield, their instructions for the throttle and brake line guides were probably out of date and may hit the tank when turning the handlebars full right. HD updated those instructions on 4/4/08 relocating the guides to different location to prevent that from happening. See my post: https://www.hdforums.com/m_3168227/tm.htm.

Needless to say, I put a down payment on that one instead. Having them put on the SE air kit, V&H short shots staggered, power commander, and a backseat and pegs. Should be delivered to my doorstep hopefully next weekend. I'm pumped
