Default Newbie Here....

Hey guys just wanted to drop a line... Been lurking for about a month and just picked up my first Harley yesterday 07 Softail Deluxe. I have ridden crotch rockets for years and cant believe how comfortable the Lux is.

Cant wait to start changing things up. List of plans include 21" front wheel, cholo fishtails, slammed using some sort of air ride and not sure if I want to run beach bars or mini apes and of course all of the little things here and there. Im fairly short so I dont think the taller apes would work for me.

Heres a pic of my bike and one of the wife as well
