Default New to Softail section

Just traded in the 07 1200C Sporty for an 09 Heritage Classic. Looking forward to putting some miles on her. Now I just have to figure out what mods to do first!!

Stage 1 has to be first. Thats why they call it stage 1. Who can live without that sound after spending all that cash.

P.S. bike looks great.

Yeah Stage 1 is the obvious choice. It's amazing how quiet the stock pipes are, expecially after riding the sporty with the V&H pipes.

I just have to figure out which pipes to go with.
