Rule of thumb to remember: When you purchase a new bike, trick it out within at least 2years before HD discontinues the accessories for it. Case in point: I just found a new in the box HD SE teardrop AC cover that I wanted on e-bay that was discontinued in 05', hard to find.

I agree. You just can't find good accessories for these oldies anymore.

The exhaust is doable with a little work and a new oil pan.

If the motorcompany doesn't make upgraded parts available for my '03, I'll spend my money on other things. The P&A book is getting thin on gear for my bike, and it's a keeper.
