Default new to the softails

Just wanted to introduce myself to the regulars in the softail forum. I just sold my dyna and am picking up a custom softail tomorrow night. Ive owned two touring scoots and a dyna but never a softail. So I may be in here alot looking for answers and asking silly questions.
