Default Hello from Eastern Massachusetts

Hi Everyone,
I bought my first Harley, an 05 ultra classic. It's two tone chopper blue pearl and brilliant silver pearl. I'm working on making some mods to it. I've removed the lower fairings and tour pack (want to make it detachable) and have added a mustang solo with passenger pillion and detachable backrest. The bike has Rinehart true duals and I'll be changing the black faced gauges to the white/silver faced. I've been navigating my way around this site for about a month now and have gotten many great ideas from the gallery and reading the discussion forums. It seems as though there are many seasoned riders hear with lots of knowledge and a willingness to share it. I'm looking forward to posting some threads of my own. I don't have any pics just yet but will post them soon. I wish the riding season was longer here in the north but now I have a nice winter project, making my ride mine! -Rick
