Hello all,

I am new to the forum as well as motorcycles. I just purchased a new Street Glide upon my return from Iraq and am doing a great deal of reading and research on the accessories I should consider putting on the bike for both performance and for comfort and looks. I am an active duty Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune NC and would love to hear suggestions and well as any and all adivce. Semper Fi and God Bless.

Thank you for your service Marine.
For comfort, the rider's backrest is the best purchase you can make.
For purformance, my Stage I components are listed below and according to the Dyno results, my HP is now 75.38, my Torque is now 88.31. My fuel economy has increased 30 miles per tank.

Plus the True Duals rumble like a Harley should.

Oh, and welcome from sunny San Diego!
