Hey all,

I am a rookie, learning how to work on my scoot. I have my 05 FXSTI torn apart and am hoping to get it done by some good riding weather. I did a ness big sucker, Kerker 2 into 1, which sounds so good! I am lowing it as we speak and putting a solid disk on the rear. Relocated the turn signals because I hope to put some apes on it. I will have pics soon as it is on the road.

I am outside DC and can't wait for the road to clean up and spring temps.

Howdy Rookie. It sounds like you have gotten a good start on the Harley kick. You've taken some of your bike apart and are trying to make your own improvements on it. Enjoy your ride.

That's a pretty nice bike to be "learning" on. I hope you have a manual, good tools, mechanical experiance, a camera and lot's of baggies for parts. Let's see that baby.
