Hello Folks,

I joined HDFourms a couple months back because it seemed like everytime I searched for something Harley related on the internet that HDForums popped up. I found the answers I was looking for so I joined up. I'm just now getting around to updating my profile and I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself.

I started riding dirt bikes back when I was a kid. I've owned a couple of metric street bikes over the years but I'm on my first Harley. She is a year old now and she has a little over 7K miles on her because living in Texas I can and do drive her everyday. I think I'm in love with my King.



Here are a few of the mods made to date.

Reinhart Exhaust
Stage 1 Download
Air Cleaner Upgrade
Danny Gray Big Solo & Pillon
Tim Wolf Custom Rear Fender Bib
Street Glide Bag Supports
Ring Visor Headlamp, Driving Lamp and Blinkers
HD Peg Board Chrome out the yahoo! (More to go!)
Next she is going to get lowered 1" & get new chrome lower forks
Then maybe some braided cable and brake lines

I think she is starting to take on a look of her own.

What do ya'll think? (There are a couple more photos in my profile.)

Enjoy your Easter!

Regards,

Gerald
