Congrats. The Harley bug bit me in 2010. I've had a motorcycle since 2001 but I dunno what it is about Harleys. Enjoy modding it, riding it, and talking about it, and be safe.

Looks good, the color threw me off. Thats the first one iv seen with the silver on bottom.

I hated how my air cleaner cover was gray like that pulled it off and painted flat black. Looks much better. Congrats on the buy.
