Default Just bought a 2006 today

Well I just bought my very first bike. 2006 Harley Davidson Sportster XL1200 Low. Worked out all the paperwork, and tomorrow they will be installing the Screamin' Eagle Pipes, High Flow Air Cleaner, and Rejetting the carb. I'm so damn excited. Can't wait for the warmer weather to come about. By the way, my name is Jim aka "Jimbo". I'm 18, and have wanted a Harley ever since my uncle took me on his back in 1995. I am proud to own one, and can't wait to get involved with some of the events. Here is pretty much what my bike looks like, except I got the "Balogne" cut (slashed out) pipes.

Yeah. I can't wait to get on her, and go. So from my understanding from the dealer, and from a quick "search" on the Stage 1. It is basically everything I am having them do: SE Pipes, SE A/C, and a Rejet - correct?

Thanks for the welcome.

Congradulations. I'm jealous. I am still saving to get my first Harley ( Road King Custom). I have 3 more months. [sm=boosign.gif]

Thanks, I really like the look of the Road King. Good luck on your quest to get one. I knew what I wanted, and did research on it, saved up, and am finally able to get it. AND the bonus was having money left over to do some goodies (been working since age 11, finally paid off my 1991 Jeep Wrangler, so I thought it would be good to have to make payments on something else!)
