Default New FLHX
I'm picking up my new FLHX Street Glide next week. My plan was to put on V&H Ovals immediatly. I'll wait for a while on FM and AC. Will that be OK for the engine during the break in period?


PS
Anybody want to buy a Sporty?

I picked mine up last week andput V&H ovals on it with 17 miles on the ticker. I don't see any problem with it, just a muff change.

Congrats.. good move! Try to beat the dealer up on price and get them to take the sporty on a trade. After some haggling, the dealer gave me NADA retail on my sporty trade.
