Default coming over from the Bagger side

I'm going to be the new guy asking questions that have already been asked a hundred times...been over in the touring group for the last few years. Just closed a deal on a 08 X-Bones will be picking it up Monday. I've had my eye on that bike since it came out and finally pulled the trigger. I've seen some pretty amazing mods done in the soft tail group...damn you guys (and girls) it's going to cost me a hell of a lot more than I thought to get the Bones where I want it...anyway...keep giving me a reason to spend money..haha
Look forward to bothering you all with stupid questions.

Congrats man, good choice! Bones is a good ride to mod for sure. Anything done to it already? Last year in Hermon, Maine HD, they had a new untitled 2008 Xbones, and I was amazed that it remained unsold then. I liked the feel sitting on it stock.
