Default New Harley Owner

All, I just bought a new 2012 Street Glide. I have always rode Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha prior to this bike. At first, yeah I bashed Harleys but in the past 5 years (as I have gotten into my mid 30's) I've come to respect the HD brand as well a the people who ride them.
I took delivery on the Street Hog last Saturday. It had the 103 and still being a power junkie, I had the SE 113 kit done before I ever seen it in person. HOLY WOW!!!!! Still in the break in period but I can tell this girl has *****. I now understand why there are so many HD's on the highways. That is one comfortable ride.
The results from the engine build are 119hp w/113 lb/ft torque. My builder said those numbers will go up a bit more after the breakin period as they can't really dyno it correctly being a new engine. I went w/ Rinehart true duals and it sounds incredible. I love this ride!!!!

I'm new here and new to Harley but I am Harley from now until I check out........

welcome to the forum. did your bike already get dyno'd? if it did, wondering why they didn't break it in on the dyno, I trust that method more than "taking it easy for 500 miles". good luck and once again welcome!
