Sorry for question, kinda still trying to figure it all aou...what does the SERT stand for, and what does it mean/do? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies and the pics!!! Here is a pic of the one I am about to buy...



basically stock but it is calling to me and the bars should help out. Still can't decide on size though... maybe 15 inch if I can't make up my mind

I love the bare bones look of the standard and every one I see looks so different. Wanted a night train originally, and found a great one for 13k, but couldn't see enough difference to justify the expense. Picking the red one up for 9K.

Man am I excited. If the Vulcan sells before next week I may get it sooner, otherwise it's 7 days and counting. Thanks again for the pics and suggestions.

Looking at a 04 FXST myself. Friend of friend wants a Dyna so I may be trading my FXD for his Softail + a little cash. Have had 2 Softails in the past and always liked 'em.
