Default Just Got Home

Got away from the dealer at 5pm this afternoon. I got them to put on the HD 9" clear shield as part of the deal. The stock one fit right in the sadle bag. First impression after a 50 mile ride home in the dark at 20 degrees..................Love it.........Now I have to look around for some good mufflers. Always liked Rush but open to suggestions.

Enjoy the new ride. I love mine. So does my wife. I think I'll pick up a bit better seat for her this year though, the stock is fairly narrow in the rear. I put Rinehart slip ons on mine and love the sound and look-not too loud, but certainly not too quiet. If you haven't done so yet, I recommend moving the rear pegs up front to be highway pegs and get the streamliner floorboards-much better comfort for both of you! Then add...then...then.....
