Default New Guy here

Hello, All. I'm a long time rider (30+yrs.) and first time Harley owner. Just got an 08 RKC last week and am loving it. Just rolled up on 700 miles today and life is good. I've been checking out the various posts here for about a week now and have learned alot already. Looks like True duals, a hi Flow A/C and a fuel module are in order to sweeten it up even more. I figure sometime after the first service I'll git er done. So many choices, but I'm narrowing it down. I'm thinking Rhinehart TDs, AN Big Sucker, and maybe a SERT. (PCllls aren't out for the 08s yet, right? )
Rubber down, Chrome up.

Congrats on the new scoot.

The RK rocks. Best bike I've ever owned.

This forum is full of great people,tips and info. It'll be a valuable resource for ya, it has for me.
Nice choice on the mods, I went with the same set-up, except with PCIII. Scoot runs awesome.

Keep the rubber side down and enjoy!
