Welcome!
I have a 2007 1200 C myself.
welcome to the madness that is Harley Davidson ownership, let the mods begin!

And, upgrade those rear shocks to progressives, you'll be SOOOO happy you did.
Just did mine last month, 13 inch progressive 412's, SOOOOO sweet a ride now.

You'll love having that detachable windshield too.

Enjoy your sporty!

I can't wait till it warms up enough to go for a good ride. I may have to do some tinkering on it between now and then.

It has an HD detachable windshield, forward controls, HD sissy Bar, and Screaming Eagle Exhaust (SOUNDS AWESOME)

Things to come for it. 14 inch apes, a mustache bar, NEW SEAT, brake light modulator, and probably progressive shocks.

Welcome to the forum from Mississippi. I guess we're sort of neighbors? Maybe a little. These folks here are the greatest for answering questions you may have about your new bike. I'm sure you'll be happy to own the Harley. I know I'm thrilled with mine after so many Japanese bikes!!
