Default Hello from Michigan

Hello all. I've been secretly hanging around her for some time now. I can't begin to tell you how helpful this forum has been. With a little searching, you can find so much help. I have saved a decent bit of money by learning to do some things for myself. However, you folks have a knack at helping a man spend money. I could never afford to pay someone to do all the modifications that are in my head, but as I read up on things, many modifications seem to be reasonably obtained with my own hands. I thank all of you who contribute to the endless wealth of knowledge I find here. Last spring I traded my '98 Super Glide for a 2011 FLHX 103, and I love it, all except for the sound that comes out of the stock exhaust. With a lot of research, and all the good reviews I've read on here, I've ordered the Jackpot 4" mufflers, their stainless steel head pipe, their Pro Billet AC, and a Power Vision tuner, with their map, of course. I'm currently waiting for the head pipe to get here, as it was a two week wait, but I'm very anxious to get everything installed and experience the difference. Anyways, I figured I better introduce myself now, as I may need some help in the very near future. Again, thanks to all of you who contribute to such a fine forum.

Welcome, from Middlebury, IN (just 7 miles south of the Michigan line). Yes, this a great place to help us all make good informed decisions. Have fun here on the forum and with your Street Glide.

Welcome from Dewitt Michigan.
Looks like you will have a lot of cool items on your bike soon. They say it will be up close to 50 this week, but way to much salt on the roads for me. As for Winter, I don't think it's over yet...Ride safe.
