Default Hi from Half Way Mo.

Hi I just bought my first NEW Harley. It's a FLSTCI 95" Big Bore. This is my first time on a Harley forum. I have ridden bikes since 1957 my first was a used 46 flat head with a tank shift. that's what I learned too ride on. By some standards I'm PRETTY OLD, but I'm young at heart. Ive had many bikes but never a New Harley (lots of old bikes). My wife and I plan to use this bike as often as we can. I had the Big Bore put on as soon as it came in to the dealer, I never even rode it with the 88 in it. (I have that in my shop). I now have 500 mile on it so they can put the V&H 2 into 1 Pro pipe on and dino it for the fuel maps with the Race Tuner that they installed when the 95" was installed. I'm hoping too meet alot of HD riders in the area(north of Springfield Mo). SWo far I think this forum is GREAT.

Wow,

You've done it all, and correctly. You will like the big bore and the SERT. We have many discussions on that topic here. It's a little more expensive but well worth it for it's tuning capabilities.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you are going to fit right in.
