Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll get some pictures of the bike once it hits my driveway. Today I added my extras. I'm going with some Vance & Hines slip-on ovals. The Rineharts are very nice, but just too much money and a bit louder then I wanted. The slip-ons sound really nice and will increase the power more then I thought. I had a group of experianced riders standing around sharing time with me and I was quit inpressed with the willingness to explain and show me they're bikes. One of the riders did have Rineharts installed and said that if I was going to be doing riding around town (Tacoma and Seattle) go with a bit more mellow set up.

My entire front end will be chromed, as will some of the engine. I'm also doing the entire handlebar set up in chrome. I have to keep my wife happy (money is an issue as many of you can understand).

All in all I'm very lucky to have a new Harley on the way and a wife that is buying it for me.

I like the way you think on the chrome and the front end. I really like a chromed out front end...chrome makes it go faster too!
