Hi everyone, I just found this site while looking for info about tuning my new HD. Looks like a great place for information...

Here's a little info about me: I've been riding for years and just purchased my first Harley about 2 months ago. It's a new Street Glide, love the bike!! Its gotta be the most comfortable bike I've ever owned. I got about 2200 miles now and I think it's pretty much broken in. No mods yet, just a few pieces of chrome and a full size windshield for the cold mornings in NH.

Hope the weather clears here, I can't wait to get a few more rides in before the winter!

Mark

Welcome Mark,

I am also a new Harley owner, I have the Cobolt Blue Street Glide. Love it.......... Been racking up the miles. No mods yet either, waiting to see what other people say. I would like to do some exhaust upgrade, but still shopping. Enjoy your ride.

Bert

Thanks for all the replies and the warm welcome.....

I got my bike in black cherry and added a detachable passenger back rest.

I'm also looking to add pipes and an air cleaner kit. I purchased the screaming eagle slip ons and the stage 1 kit, but haven't installed them yet because the ecm download is not available for the 06. I'm waiting for Harley to release the download or the race tuner, maybe next year...

Thanks again, Mark
