You're gonna be a happy camper friend!!

As for the TP, that can be added, and you may as well start looking for the wife a seat. I recommend a Sundowner, looks like crap but it's wife approved, and easy to remove. And get her a removable backrest.

Thanks Man. Your feedback helped seal the deal except I chickened out on the denim paint!.

Oh man, the denim paint is it. I too have been following your other thread. I am impressed you actually stayed loyal to the brand. If it was me I can't say I would have. Good luck with this one.

As for the denim paint, I don't think you can beat it. Cleans easy. Wears nice. No wax, just windex. Second riding season with it on my sg and still looks good. Is starting to get some character on the tank, but no swirl marks.

Curious why you wouldn't stay loyal to the brand? I definitely would stay loyal to a brand who bought my bike back from me because it couldn't be fixed. I may not stay loyal to that dealer, however, depending on how they participated in the process.
I too followed the OP's "other" thread, and am so happy for him. Enjoy your new ride!

Congrats and great luck on the new bike. Can realize how upset you were as I would have been also. But glad MOCO did do you right and sure they will use this to learn also.

great news for sure...least you don't have to worry about it peeing on the floor. i saw a special at the stealers and it had a Daymaker on it. not the two down LED but the other one they recently addedto parts. so, it might come with one on it. i upgraded my flhtk with the LED's, the ones that are on the 2014's, big disapointment for the money. work good down the road or in straightaways but in a turn the pattern makes you feel like the wings of an airpane banking and you lose you periferial (sp?) vision. on the highway, they do light up the road paint, lines and signs. i even bought the aux led lights and a pigtail so they stay on all the time. helped a little but still not what i was hoping for.....thought they might be aimed wrong so i took them to the dealer and they said they were aimed fine. so....consider your riding and areas you ride. i ride a lot at 0200-0300 and critters abound. i've been surprised a lot more with the new daymakers than i was with the stock. like i said, i think the specials have an led headlight too...just a different daymaker. i think this is the one they had on the one i saw. think it was stock http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...11-67700189--1
i got the other http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-11-7339010--1 and would not do it again. best wishes on the new bike.
