Hi:
I have been lurking here for about 6 weeks, reading posts and waiting for my 09-xl1200L (purple and silver) to arrive. The bike has been delayed twice now and should finally arrive next week. The dealer has loaned me a 1200 custom for a while (2004) The bike is not running all that well, hesitates, backfires and there is a short in the electrical somewhere, but still fun to ride.
Thanks for all the informative posts, hope I will have something to add in a week or two !!

Welcome from northeast Georgia. Please add your location to your profile so we'll know where your from. Post some pics when you get your bike. Purple and silver sounds nice.
