Welcome from TN. Hope you do enjoy the new ride, you have to start somewhere with your first ride, thats better than not starting at all. If you decide later that you want a different model, Harley has you covered with about the pefect lineup to choose from.

hello and welcome.

a buddy of mine was told by our local dealer that they would not install the power commander and further more it would void his warranty if he did install it on his'03 heritage softail. but I would talk to a couple of your local dealers and see what they had to say.

Welcome, being a 50 yr old rider myself, I know your feeling. It's great getting into the saddle after a long anticipated wait. I enjoy my easy chair ride, an 02 Road King. Enjoy your new found freedom and ride safe.
