Default Hello

I've been searching the forums here for a few weeks now getting various info about my bike, an '05 FLSTN Softail Deluxe. It's my first bike just purchased a month ago and I'm already making changes. Going to a solo seat and I'm currently waiting for new fender and tank bibs I got from Hogdeluxe, which I found in the forums. Nice stuff there! Also awaiting new Vance & Hines Double Barrel Staggered exhaust to replace the V&H Original Shortshots. I repacked the baffles on the shortshots and found it still too loud. Being that they end right below the seat doesn't help, either.
Lots of great info here.
