Hey all - Harley rookie here. Just bought a new Street Glide (Black Pearl), and can't say enough good things about it so far. Came from Honda / Suzuki land - previous bikes:

'03 Suzi Volusia
'05 Honda 919
'01 Suzi LC 1500
'05 Honda VTX 1800
'08 Honda CBR 1000RR

Mods / accessories so far (only had it 4 days - gimme time):
Smoked turn lenses
Passenger floorboards, Highway pegs, and Shifter pegs (all matching)
Detachable sissybar and rack
Chrome shift bar
Antenna relocated and hole plugged
Most reflectors removed
Sundowner seat for passenger purposes
Kury ISO grips and throttle boss

In any event, I'm loving the Harley so far, and looking forward to checking out the site more - looks like you all have a ton of info here! And hey - if you're in the STL area, I'm nearly always ready for a good ride - I'm in the West County area.

I'll post some pics when I get some taken...
