Default Newbie buying first harley tomorrow!

grew up riding dirtbikes and quads my entire life, so im no noob to motorcycles. i also had a cbr 600 10 years ago when i was 20. anyway, i just recently sold my 2009 can-am renegade 800, and decided it was time to move to a harley. so my dad and i are going halves on our first bike. figured we would split one for now,sincd im a new father and neither of us will really have as much time as we would really like,to own our own right now.

so on to the bike. its a 2007 softail standard. bike is mint condition with 3700 miles on it. heres a list of all the mods that are done to the bike:

- Hd 6" pull back risers with top clamp
- Drag bars
- Hd Profile stem mirrors
- Hd custom bar ends
- Hd custom primary cover
- Hd custom timer cover
- Mustang "fastback" seat
- Hd led tail light
- Adjustable lowering kit
- Vance & Hines big radius pipes
- Vance & Hines V02 air cleaner
- Power commander III
- Hd bright white headlight bulb
- Hd headlight visor
- Hd turn signal visors
- Flame grips
- Chrome levers
- Blue engine LED kit
- Big city thunder baffles
- Side mounted tag setup

anyways we are very excited about the bike, and i cant wait till the deal is 100% official!
