Default new guy

Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself.
I have been riding street since I was 18. I have owned 10 different street bikes so far. From sport bikes to cruisers. Back in 1998 I bought my first Harley. It was a sportster sport. List of bikes from first to last,
1985 Honda cbr 600rr
1994 Honda V4Magna
1998 Sportster Sport 1200
1999 Honda CBR 600 F4
2000 Honda CBR 929 rr
1988 Honda Hawk NT650
2002 Kawasaki ZRX 1200
1979 Suzuki GS 425 (still have project)
2002 Yamaha FZ1
2009 Harley Fat Bob

I just picked up a 2009 Fat Bob from the original owner with a lot of mods. 7500 orig miles, ohlins rear shocks, Vrod front forks with ohlins cartridges, brembo brakes, full floating disc, VH two into one pipe, heavy breather, SE super tuner, fork brace, wide glide rear fender, led turn signals. Picked it up for 8500 bucks. I thought it was a good deal with all the mods.
So far I have installed a speedo w/tach , 2017 street bob solo seat, Vibra-technics front motor mount.
I have purchased but not installed yet, S&S 583 easy start chain drive cams, adjustable push rods, Rock out rocker shaft bushings. I am going to install the cams in a couple months as soon as riding season gets over. Need more seat time so I can really feel the difference.
