Default New Bike!!

Hello everyone. Let me give you a litttle back story. I'm 26 been riding since 18. Mostly Hondas, a few sport bikes, my last bike was a VTX. Bout 2 weeks ago I decided to trade up and move to a Harley. Boy was that the smartest thing I've ever done!! A family member calls me last week to tell me he has the perfect bike for me....I say okay email me some pics. The next day I'm talking to the good old banker bout getting this done sight unseen! I'm expecting delivery in 2 weeks. Here's my problem I'm going mad with antcipation!!!! I don't know HD's very well and am hoping that this board can give me some insight on what is already on my bike. All I really know is 103" motor(says Screamin' Eagle on Heads), FLH Bags, Dragon Fly Fairing, Spokes, Tour Pak.....Please guys help me out....Need to keep busy for next 2 weeks!!!!! I'm from South Dakota.....the bike is sitting in Lake Havasu

Talking I know this

Hey glad to have you and welcome bro, from Indiana,, I to just came from sport bike riding two years ago had 4 gsxrs,,, They were fun iv had an 07 deuce and jsut traded for and 09 night train waiting to post pics as soon as it gets home, but Now youll understand a new meaning to riding,, by the way that deluxe you got there has a aftermarket front face on it, if you ever get tired and want to feel the wind take it off, the deluxe is a rad bike without it and the back travel gear as well..
ride safe enjoy the breeze

Yep...thats a nice looking bike. Got to be honest and say I've never seen a Deluxe that looked like that; especially with the fairing and storage compartments on the engine bars. At first glance I thought it was an Ultra. Looks like those might be Avon tyres on their from the tread pattern. You're going to love the ride of that badboy...The Deluxe is a sweet riding machine....Of course I'm a little partial ;-) Good luck!

EXACTLY Thanks for the replies and I've been lurking on the board for the past few days lots of great info here. Trying to find any Harley that is a little "unique", for lack of a better word, is hard. I'm totally in love with this thing!! if it wasn't 20 degrees here I would have flown down to get it.
