Default Christmas in March !!!!!

It finally happened. I picked up my first Harley on Saturday. I ordered it on January 17th & Picked up on Saturday March 12, I will try to get some pics posted in the next few days. My new baby is a 2005 Road King Classic, Black Cherry Pearl. What a beauty, it is well worth the wait. I did not sleep for two days befor I picked her up. I had Salt Lake H.D. put on the Rinehart true duals, Screaming Eagle air kit, down load, Chrome laced wheels, sissy bar/back rest. I also purchased a smoked lens kit & a Siren kit for the factory alarm. I have the lenses on but not the Siren as yet. I have only got 4 miles on her in the dark of last night. Can't wait to ride her.

That's great! Congratulations. I think I'll also get the siren installed. I think those RKCs will draw a lot of attention!

I talked to my new parts man & he said the Siren was a real simple install, just remove the cover & plug it in. (basicly)

Wayy to go, you lucky dawg! I hope to pick mine up very soon - although the rotten weather here in PA isn't cooperating at all. What did you drive before? I sold a BMW RT in order to make room for mine.
