Hi Everybody!
Hi,
I just joined the forum today after a coupe months of lurking. Im presently deployed in the US military but have a 2010 Road King Classic (Merlot/Cherry Red Sunglo) waiting in the crate for me back home. This is my first Harley and also first cruiser, but not my first bike. I had sport bikes before and put about 7k miles/year. I imagine I'll get a lot more miles logged with something this comfortable.
I plan on getting a Fuel Moto power package (Fuel Moto AC, Jackpot slip ons, and PCV) almost immediately. I want to add a back rest for the wife (what do I need to mount that?) also. What other things do most of you change or modify off the bat?
Thanks guys!

Thank you from me as well. Welcome and congratulations on the bike.
+1 on the four point hardware. The two point is less expensive but limited in what you can mount to it. Pipes, air box and fuel management is pretty much what everyone does first. Don't rush into your choices, however. Take everything into consideration before buying parts. Sound, style, performance and price. Make sure you get what you want.

Hi Scottie! Welcome to the forum, come home safely. Nice choice in scooters, post a pic or two when you get back home. The fuel moto stage I package works very well, you'll be happy with it.

Thanks so much for all you guys do. You are all heros in my book! Be safe, please.
As far as that new bike, your on the right path. The fuel moto package is a good one but be aware that there are alot of options out there. Most guys start with getting their bikes to run right first off. Exhausts, air cleaners, some sort of fuel management system and a good tune for most is first and formost. After that it's usually chrome goodies and making the bike comfortable for the long haul, seats, suspension, highway pegs, handlebars. There is a wealth of information on this forum and I think you'll find most guys on here would be willing to share their experiences with you when asked. Ask questions and see what's out there before you just throw money at some of this stuff. The for sale section is full of stuff that folks like me and others have bought only to find it just didn't do the trick. So.....take your time. Ride alot, be safe, have fun, enjoy!
