Congrats on the new ride, your going to love the new bigger engine and 6 speed. [sm=biker2.gif]
Now comes the fun part, CUSTOMIZING it the way you want.
Citoriplus, you are going to confuse the man, its an 06, no 6 speed or extra cubes! But it is a sweet bike!

Congrats on the new ride soft06. I bought the same bike in Dec05 and love it! Although I am unable to ride it as much as I would like, I am on it every chance I get. I have made a few changes as indicated in my sig, if you have questions feel free to ask.

Where are you located in socal and which dealer did you buy from? You probably got a good deal I bet!

I appreciate all the input. I have not "romped" on it yet and am trying to vary the RPM's and speed as much as possible.
I have an appointment at my dealer next week getting new seat put on (no labor charge...deal I made if I bought the bike) and battery tender, and changing the rear turn sigs into running/brake lights and signals, all red lenses.

Peace

Rick/California

PS..I took a few pics of my Soft in the driveway.....When I try to up load them it says the file is too large? Help???

I have an 06 Heritage. I let the dealer do the first service at 1000. Changed everything over to synthentic at that time. I do my own service every 5000 miles. Have 21000 on the bike right now. Not an ounce of problems with it.
