Default new Harley SG rider

I've mentioned it in a few threads before, I had the pleasure to be one of the riders for the 2013 bikes(european shoot, not american) and originally was only scheduled to work 1 day. I got to ride a few 2013 harleys around downtown LA and got paid for riding, not bad I thought. then towards the end of that day they asked me if I wanted to do another day, riding the touring bikes and of course I couldn't say no. So we met out on HWY39 and I rode mainly the Electra glide ultra and i got hooked.

matter of fact I fell in love with the comfort and how easy those big bikes were to ride, so after 3 weeks I added a 2012 vivid black SG to my collection and started doing some research how to get her to run and sound good.

so here are my bikes I already had before my SG:

2010 Thruxton(black bike) and my 2006 Scrambler before I finished her



here my Scrambler after I finished her


and here my SG, so far i've done Rinehart extreme duals 4", stage1 and power vision, J&M Rokker speakers and amp in fairing, floor board extenders(harley goodies) iron Cross HDPDPLUS2 with iPod nano hidden inside the fairing as well and I have 12" black gaffe monkey bars on order with performance machine grips and i'm also getting the V&H throttle pack when i do the bars. 6.5" KW wind shield.

i've been having a blast with the SG and thanks to the forum I knew which parts were for me



thanks for looking guys
