Good looking bike chronic. I've wanted a Harley since I was little too, but it was that first year FB that really caught my attention. Took a while to get one, but I finally did.

BTW, here is what those beach bars will look like on your bike. I think you'll like em.

Default Good choice

I think the fatty is the greatest of all harleys without a doubt. I was inspired by the Terminator movie, had always ridden Ducati, MotoGuzzi and Laverda up to that point!

Whatever you do will work, its a personal journey! I dont think I'll ever stop tweaking it but I love the presence it has, and the performance that surprises other riders when it leaves them behind! Left a triumph thunderbird in my dust several times last weekend!!
