Welcome to the fat side. Nice choice&nbsp\\;of color. Now remove those front reflectors and make the bike your own. Just a suggestion of course. Enjoy.

Fat is good!&nbsp\\; It is as stock as mine.&nbsp\\; Well from my little experience I think you can get away with stock motor as long as you keep it out of extreme heat conditions for extended periods of time.&nbsp\\; Then again I have yet to read about a blown 96ci motor because it overheated.&nbsp\\; Hmmmm.

I did put on a sissy bar, left off the replacement reflectors that came with the mounts. And got a set of Wille and Max (hope that's the correct name) saddlebags yesterday. I've never been a fan of saddlebags and would only go with smaller ones. These are almost to big to suit me. Big bike, big engine, big tires all great. Just not bags. On my Shadow I had a set of horse saddlebags that fit perfectly, but after 22 years were worn pretty badly and I didn't want to put them on this ride.

Could I ask a question that has probably been asked a million times? How do I add a picture to my posts without making it an attachment? I resized my photo to death and it's down to 39.7k and 450x290 in size. From what I've read it should display.
