Default Finally Got it!

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help! I just got my 2006 883 custom, and man is it great! I live in PA (about 45 minutes outside of Philly) and since I bought the bike it has done nothing but rain. I finally got out today for a nice long ride and couldn't wipe the smile off of my face! What a machine!

I'll try to post some pics when I get a chance.

- Jerm

Congrats! Let me tell you, it only gets better from here. Once you get about 1000 miles on her, she's going to ride smooth as butter...Good luck.

WORRIOR IS CORRECT, I HAVE 1200 MILES ON MY 883C AND ITS SMOOTH AS SILK BETWEEN 60 AND 70, HAD IT UP TO 90 AND STILL RAN SMOOTH.
HAD A 1200C SO I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE STEP DOWN, BUT SHE SEEMS TO HAVE WHAT I NEED FOR NOW.

Congrats on the bike and don't let the rain stop you from riding. Get a rain suit and helmet and you're on your way.
