Well guys, I pick my new harley (heritage)the end of this month (and its my first one) I was just wondering what I should all plan on picking up that day. The dealer is putting a new seat on it, passenger floorboards, and throwing in a battery tender. Anything else I should consider getting that day that anyone might suggest including riding gear, any input appreciated, thanks.

How deep is your wallet? Maybe some rain gear, I just bought the HD GoreTex PacLite, shoulda bought it last year but was too much of a 'chromoholic'to think rationally.

Put your Wife or gril frend on back and RIDE you spend enought on it in time
Hold off on to many extras till you had time to think about what you really want.
Also will give you a chnace to see what works for others what does not.
Good riding gear Jacket chaps boots rain gear are a big plus

If it doesn't have the security system, I would suggest getting one installed.

Congrats on the new ride.
Making it breath would probally be the best start. Pipes, Air , Fuel Managment.

Once it has the basics just look in the HD cat and at pics in the forumand see what takes your eye.
Most of the glitz is about your personal interpritation of what YOUR bike should look like.

have FUN
