Officially been an HD owner for one week! From 20 miles when I got her to 530 miles now at the end of week one. Sorry I am pretty happy with my new bike, here are three little mods I did week one. Not much but it's a start

Flipped the mirrors down, now I can see behind me not looking at my shoulders. I really like the look as well.

I adjusted my clutch and changed primary fluid. Then finally decided to remove all reflectors. Didn't think it would look any different but it actually made a big difference.

That is a gnarly looking ride! Very cool making it your own!

Had a set of bars made and finally got to put them on. still waiting on the parts to bob the rear fender.
