Default Hello from Central Florida

Newbie here!&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I just had my "mid life crisis"....I bought myself an '05&nbsp\\;Harley Night Train for Father's Day [sm=groupwave.gif]
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
It came with a few "mods" on it,&nbsp\\; but has already been changed up a bit.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Since I brought it home, I&nbsp\\;removed the sissy bar &amp\\; the windshield(which will be kept for future use)&nbsp\\; My wife does NOT ride(as of now) so I do not need the seat that is on it.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;I bought a Leather Badlander seat to replace it.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; It will be lowered 2" front/rear&nbsp\\;, &nbsp\\;I will be adding a Drag Specialties Buffalo Bar,&nbsp\\; new pegs(front, pass, shift) and matching grips.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
The bike also came with slip ons, but I want to change the exhaust.&nbsp\\; I have 3 in mind...Vance &amp\\; Hines Big Shot Staggered....BUB Jugg Huggers....Vance &amp\\; Hines Big Radius.
&nbsp\\;
Any suggestion on what will look, sound, &amp\\; perform the best????&nbsp\\; Thanks in advance!
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Looks like a great site and look forward to checking out the forums.
&nbsp\\;
