I bought a 2010 FLHTC last year. Love it so far. That was my first HD after 42 years of riding and 30 non HD motorcycles. I only hope it will be as reliable as my Yamahas were.

Congrats and welcome!

Your first Harley sure is a nice one!

Looks like you have done your homework for a few mods as well.

Congratulations on your new ride. What were you riding before if you don't mind me asking. I traded an 08 Yamaha RSV a little over a month ago for an 07 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. Other than I've always wanted a HD, the dealership here made all the difference. I was looking at a GoldWing, but the salesman acted like I was bothering him (four wheeler season around here, you know. I wasn't interested in a Rancher 4x4). When I went into the HD Dealership, they acted like I was a long lost brother that they were welcoming home. When they didn't have anything on the floor in my price range with everything I wanted, downstairs and upstairs, the salesman grabbed his inventory sheet and said "lets go to the warehouse, I'll pull em out, and you ride em." Now thats what I'm talking about.
