Default Hello from Chicago

Hey everybody. I just bought an '06 XL1200C a few weeks ago. Loving it so far, but bikes are made to tweak, so I thought I'd come on here to learn a few things.
My previous bikes were 750s and a 600, so this is a big step up for me.

Hey MrKicks, I live in Chicago - a few blocks from Comiskey Park. I'm actually storing the bike at my parents house in Lansing, since they have a garage and I don't, so I do most of my riding in that area.
