Hello all,

I'm a new member from orange county, california. I own a 2006 Dyna Lowrider. I have not been riding long, as a matter of fact, this is my first bike. Looking forward to learning all I can from all of you. Thanks.

Thanks for the warm welcome. The bug bit so I took the MSF course and learned a lot. I test drove (rented/borrowed) a few Harleys (sportster, fatboy, roadking) and the Low Rider was the easiest to handle.

I made some changes, more chrome, west coast choppers front fender, windvest windshield and saddlebags. But I don't like the windshield + saddlebag look much so I try to keep them off.

I am starting work on performance. Any suggestions on what to do first? Is the K&N airfilter good for Dynas? Thanks.
