Default New Guy Here!
About a month ago, I fullfilled a life-long dream by finally becoming a Harley owner! Ever since I was a little snot-nosed punk, I've wanted my own rumbling, v-twin monster and I just so happened to find the deal of the century! I bought a 95 Softtail Custom of a salty old man who built it from the ground up. The bike is built on a Pro-one frame, which allows for a 180 rear tire. It's got your standard 88-inch evo motor, softtail fenders and tanks, forks and a ton of chrome. He also put a Forcewinder high-flow breather on there as well. It has only 5400 original miles and I bought it all for a whopping $10k! Right now it's in the shop getting a 5k service and inspection, new rear tire, new big buffalo 1.5" drag bars and my new Thunderheaders. I'll attach another pic when I get my baby back this weekend!

I was so stoked when I rode my bike home for the first time......I had a shi9t eating grin, ear to ear, the whole way home!

This forum has so much info, I don't even know where to start!
