Howdy.
Shouldn't you be out riding in the 2 weeks of summer that you guys have, instead of sitting on a computer...

Welcome, glad you found us. As you know, there is a lot of good information here, Post some pics of your ride, once you get it figured out. If ya need help with that, just ask. I have a black pearl rk custom. Man, I love this color. BTW, the guys above are right. My OL hates this forum. I see all these neat things others have done to their rides, and I want to do it. I gotta say, it gets expensive here. But, I am not complaining. I love this forum. There are other hd forums out there. I have visited a few, but I haven't found one with this kind of following. Lots of posts, lots of answers, and lots of great people. IMO

Welcome, I'm a newbie too, coming off a Honda Valkyrie, which I still own and which (believe it or not) is also a wicked fun bike to ride.

This is a great place and the cool thing about your new HD is there are a gabillion choices as to how to make it "yours". I've just started and it is getting a tad expensive, but I just need a few more trinkets. I figure it took me 6 years to get my Valky set up perfectly, and I'm still doing things with that, so it'll take me at least this year just to get the basic mods done to the EGC.

Right now I'm hunting down a new horn so I can eliminate that pathetic thing the hide under that chrome cover on the left. That's a moped horn!

It's always something!

I also picked up a set of floorboard extenders to bring them out a tad and give a wider stance as I'm used to the "Fatlady".

oh! ...and a Trunk quick disconnect kit, a Wally's oil temp guage, new handgrips (doh), and brake pedal, some Supertrapp SE pipes/PCIIIusb/K&N breather from FuelMoto.. I'm getting there! Oh!! and HogTunes!! gotta have the Hogtunes!! Those H-D stock speakers suck on the EGC.
