Default Hello all

So I've always wanted a classic looking cruiser. Went into the Harley dealer back in 2002 and wanted a sportster for a starter. They said it was too small, I needed a dyna or softail. Well I wasn't willing to pay 12K+ for my first bike so I rode around on a suzuki650 for two years and then bought a Yamaha standard FZ1 that I still adore. But the Harley mistique and rumble keep calling out to me. Now my uncle is in need of money and will let me have the bike for what the dealership will give him. It's a 1995 Softail Custom. If all goes well I'll have it home by this weekend. Only thing that I don't like is the look of the seat. Probably will want and swap it out asap for something better looking and comfortable enough for some 500 mile days.
