Default Finally, at 34!

I've finally gotten my Harley!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;I started with a Honda Rebel in High School and have owned Hondas my whole life. There was always an excuse why I couldn't get the Harley.&nbsp\\; Now, I have finally gotten the Softail that I have always wanted.&nbsp\\; I'm so freeking psyched!
&nbsp\\;
BTW - It's a 1999 Softail Standard

Thanks, man!&nbsp\\; I wonder if you - or anybody else reading - knows if a set of late model Deuce or Fatboy pipes will fit on that particular model?
