Hello all, I've just registered and still trying to figure out what the hell it is I'm doing (on these forums aswell as on my bike) Brand new Harley owner, just picked up a new Black Pearl Fat Bob once I got back from Iraq back in November. Living here in Alaska I've had to wait several months before I could finally get out and ride. Never rode streets before mainly just dirt bikes. Being Military, I got licensed through the mandatory MSF course. That was the begining of the month, since then I've tallied up almost enough miles for my first maintance check up. I love my bike, looking into customizing a few things. First and foremost the obvious things like grips and pegs, then move onto exhaust and engine. The bike already has forward controls, black levers, dark lens signals, detachable mid sissy bar (for the wife), SE Heavy Breather, and SE performance pipes. I'll work on getting a pic in the morning.
