Default Finally got it!!!
Well it's been a long time in the making, but finally made the jump to the touring bike. Picked up my 2013 candy orange sharknose yesterday. Caught a good deal and couldn't resist. Thanks to my awesome better half who made it all possible...again. Think I'm gonna keep her. Glad to finally be an official member of the touring section. Honestly I been here for months, doing my homework for this moment. This is the smoothest riding bike I think I've ever ridden. It handles like the wide glide I just traded in. And it's gonna be so much better for my back on a long trip. But here we go again...long list of stuff to do in the works now. But we all know it never stops. And yes, I got to change my sig pic as soon as I get a good one to replace it with.

You mention let the work begin. Human nature not to leave well enough alone. Great thing about the new bike, they come with a big bore. Just need a good tune but of course that won't be all thats done

Congrats and Nice bike. Got the same bike yesterday except in blue. I have the same problem trying to decide what pipes and mods to go with.
