Great choice in bikes! Here is a pic of mine when it was bone stock, the day I brought it home. Lots of changes since then. My next mod is the tour pack, I'm planning a run to Myrtle Beach from AZ at the end of June, so it won't be too much longer, in the meantime I'm saving my pennies, ahem...Twenty's!

Mac

Thanks, Phil...I get a lot of comments from people on the color, it's the "Chopper Blue", even those that say all Harley's are black give it a thumbs up.
