Default FINALLY!!!! My new ride...
Picked up an 06 EG Standard with factory radio option and 5100 miles from a friend on Friday. I am SO stoked!

Sold my Yamaha V-Star on Sunday to a guy from Russia who is shipping it back home. That bike served it's purpose well, but MAN am I a happy guy right now!

First thing - new exhaust. It's all bone stock and just doesnt have that HD sound. I'm thinking Vance and Hines Big Shot Duals...

Nice looking ride. Congrats. Vance and Hines are nice, but I prefer the Rineharts for a bagger...They are a bit more pricey though.

Congrats on the new scoot. You won't be missing the Yamaha! I would suggest V&H Monster Ovals myself. You'll get lots of opinions on exhaust but in the end it's only up to you. Good luck, ride safe.

Nice ride. God, I hope you got cash for the road star. Lots of scams on overseas sales with fake money orders and such. Please tell me you didn't take a money order or anything like that.

He is right there! I bet everyone suggest what they have. Just joking because I just finished the "exhaust search". It can drive you nuts.

BTW...nice bike!

Nice Bike...

HD stands for "Hundred Dollars". Get ready to spend lots of them.
