Oh, and cams, exhaust, AC, power controller, upgrades are a must do to really bring the engine to life...

Congrats on the new bike. Always good to see another person from NH on here. Where did you buy from?

Congratulations! You now own the best bike Harley makes!

GIve the bars a while. Put some miles on before you start changing stuff. The riding position on a King is much different and will feel odd for a while. That being said, I have a Tallboy seat on mine so needed more pullback and, after taking my own advice and putting about 10,000 miles on it (including a weeklong tour) I swapped them out for Heritage style bars which for me are perfect.

Anyway, stop reading this crap and go ride the hell out of it!
