Hello. I am new to the Forum (and to H-D) ...Just picked-up my 06' FLSTSCI last week. I am looking forward to many miles on a unique bike. I have enjoyed looking at your Springer's (I now have so many ideas). Thanks all. -Justin
Justin, welcome to the best damn HD forum on the net. I think the Springer Classic was a great choice. But maybe I'm biased. Enjoy and stay safe! Scott
Howdy Justin, welcome to the forum. Congrats on the new Springer. Enjoy the ride.

Well guys, I FINALLY ordered the V&H Fishtail Slip-ons...Should be here in the next week. Thanks very much to 06ClassicSpringer and SPRUNG for all of your input on the mufflers. Can't wait to put 'em on my bike.
FYI - I ordered them from PARTS DIRECT for $339.00 (free shipping included) .... I've looked all over the net and found this to be the best price. They're $85.00 cheaper than buying them direct from Vance & Hines or my local Harley Dealership. Here's the direct link if anyone's interested:
Also - earlier this year, I was kinda kicking around getting the SE Slip-ons with the Fishtail end caps ( I decided against this after hearing on this forum that they were too quiet and over $500). Anyway, I talked to the guy at the parts dept. at Orlando Harley and he told me "If you want the Screamin Eagle Slip-ons, you better get 'em now .... 'cause Harley's goin' quiet!" Meaning they are DISCONTINUING ALL Screamin' Eagle exhaust systems beginning June 1st under pressure from the EPA, etc ..... I've heard rumors of this over the past year. This was the first time a drop-dead date was given.
Congrats on getting your new fishtail slipons, should really add to that retro look. On another note, too bad that the EPA has to stick their nose into everybody else's business. I've seen cars and trucks that were a lot worse than a Harley with SE2's.
