Oh, BTW: CONGRATS!! What kinda mods are you going to do, or what is on the list?
How you doing Lions... When i bought the bike i added on some V&H true duels, screamin eagle intake, race tuner, highway pegs and some stirups for my girl on the back and a couple other little things i think... when they told me my payment was another 50 bucks a month, i cancelled the order... Guess i'll have fun shopping in laughlin at the end of the month... so far i just bought shorty untenna's and a 3 pocket bag to fit in the windsheils to hold my ipod, night shades and misc little stuff... oh yeah, i also bought the insulated cooler to fit in the saddle bag to carry cold brews on the road...

I have a 2011 J&P catalog and a 2011 harley catalog... The possibilitys are endless i must say...

Hrdtoget1, Have you decided when you are leaving for Sturgis? I am leaving on July 30th, that is the plan right now, well I know I'll be leaving on the 30th for sure if I can sleep on the 29th, otherwise I'll leave then, can't wait, other guys still deciding, you know how that goes, those closer we get some drop out and some drop in.

Yes, because I can really, leaving so early to take my time to get there, stay in Vegas first night then up thru Utah meeting up with my bro and couple other riders then into Cody Wyoming and then hit Sturgis. Coming back the same time as you, would love to be able to ride back with a couple other folks, right now looks like I might be on my own, I'll PM you when we get closer to liftoff 116 days and counting, I can't wait! If your friends haven't decide where to stay, I've been tenting it at Glencoe and love it, plenty of shade, plenty of nightime activities, close to downtown and right across the street from Full Throttle, can't beat it.
