Newb & questions
Hey guys. I've been lurking for a while. Decided to start posting. I'm from Frisco, TX (DFW area). I ride a metric at the moment, but have plans for an HD. Haven't fully decided which one yet. One thing I'm curious about though. I know how much the bikes cost. Wish it was less, but it is what it is. I know I can spend a boat load on accessories, changing things, etc. ...or not. But one thing I'm wondering about is maintenance costs. I'll change my own oil and do some stuff myself. More as I get to know the bike. But what kind of money can I expect to spend on maintenance needs whether it be stuff that's required to keep warranty or whatever. Now to qualify that, I'm considering a new RK or Street Glide. I may also consider an `07 or newer Fat Boy. I've looked at so many and ridden a few that I'm currently not sure what I really want other than multiples which isn't going to happen. 
At any rate, I'd appreciate some input on associated ownership costs beyond the bike itself and add-ons.
Thanks,
David

If you're not sure what kind of bike you want, test ride them. Even if you do have something in mind, like a bagger, go test ride all the baggers you can. That way you'll be able to make a better judgement call on what one you really want.
