Both rides look pretty sweet. It also looks as if you have a pretty sweet view. Congrats..

Congrats! As you can tell from my sig pic I am a fan of the blacked out look. Just wish they had done that with Nightster so I did not have to pay so much for it!

I love the look of the iron, was the bike I was looking at initially. I only wish it included a stage 1 or something different performance wise from the other 883's.

Well, I'm hoping it runs OK with the V&H SS and no remap. I hear a lot of different opinions on whether the remap is needed or not. Some say it's not necessary while others think it's a matter of time before the bike will implode if not remapped. If I feel it's not running right after the first 10-20 hours then I might add a X14iED. Maybe an AC down the road. No big plans yet other than to ride it and enjoy it this summer.
