Still waiting.... I'm going to go down to the dealership in the AM and get some pictures of the bike as it sits stock so I can have a before and after photo.

On a side note the longer I wait the more crap I continue to add to it. (word is they were able to get the backorder parts from other dealers and it should be ready next week sometime).

Today I added the Road Tech Zumo 660, the fairing GPS mount, and the Navigation Interface Module. (at 10% off of course). I figured since I am moving into a bagger and will be riding longer distances, I might as well add the GPS so I can route where I want to go versus stopping and checking my phone and making u-turns (though getting lost is fun at times, just not in the rain). I also figured since they'll have the fairing torn apart putting the amp/speakers in my labor cost on the GPS install should be negligible. Please don't tell my wife I added this so late in the game. HA

Will try and post a photo of stock bike tomorrow, though you all know what the 2012 FLHX Stock Black Denim looks like, but hey, it's mine.

Well after a month of waiting for my new bike tomorrow morning is the day for pickup. Hmmm I wonder if I'll be able to sleep tonight? Hoping to get the break in mileage done in the next 2 days so I can participate in Rolling Thunder in DC this weekend.

Will post pictures hopefully tomorrow night.

Well after the LONG WAIT I finally was able to pickup Black Betty today.

Pictures from today's pickup: http://www.flickr.com/photos/baconfa...dc62b4e68b095f

I put 250 miles on her this afternoon and hope to get the 500 mile break-in done tomorrow so I can head up to DC for Rolling Thunder this weekend.

Whoa Black Betty Bam-Ba-Lam
