Congrats and welcome to the softail section! I advise a full system as well as if you are anything like me after a month or two you will change your mind. Take your time deciding so you only have to do it once. TTS is a great tuner as well. If you want discounted forum pricing on parts PM me for pricing please or call the shop.
Thanks!
Drew

Yep, sold my 07 Road King Custom, just brought home a 2010 FXSTC, Merlot Sunglo / Cherry Red Sunglo custom color with profile laced front & rear wheels. Looks killer in the sun.
100 + degrees in Jersey, so not good for break-in riding now. But, the ride home was nice, really smooth ride. Love the big rear profile laced wheel with the 200 tire.
Thanks.

So, FXSTC is really a Softail version of an old Wide Glide I feel. Love the FXSTC seat, bars, and forward controls. Plus the ride is smooth, nice. Thanks.

Welcome to the Softail Family. We definitely NEED PICS !!
i like the thought of a LACED Rear Wheel, (200mm)? Was this stock or did you or dealer add? Regarding the pipes it is a matter of personal preference. I choose the V&H short shots for my '08 FXSTC.
Let us know why the switch from RK to FXSTC ? Riding Style Changes?
Enjoy the Ride and Ride Safe.

I have a neck injury from years ago and never could get real comfortable on the RK. I previous to that had a Wide Glide, perfect fit for me, but lowered, etc. and a hard ride.

Congrats on the new bike. Plenty of choices on exhaust out there.
I went with the SE slash cut slip-ons for my Rocker and I'm happy.
Just take your time deciding. It's less costly buying once.
