Hello all! I am new around here. My name is Dan and I am from Dubuque Iowa. I bought my first Harley about a month ago, I got myself a 2009 NightTrain. For now it is mostly stock. I installed an led flush taillight, side mount plate kit, piaa headlight bulb, smoked my signals and removed the reflectors. Also I drilled out the baffles on the stock pipes. I want so bad to make it louder but have to save my pennies for now. Eventually I want to get vance and hines 2 into 2 big radious pipes, in black, but for now it just has to get louder! I plan on doing alot of research here and hope to someday be able to contribute a little help myself.

Dan
