Hey. Newbie here. The name is Gregg. I live in the Fredericksburg area of Virginia. Just bought my second HD. As you can tell by my unimaginative username, it is a 98 FXSTC. It's a beauty. I had an FXE Shovel before this. My only problem with the new bike is that the previous owner put extended forward controls on it and I have to reach just a bit to fit. If anyone has the stock controls they are willing to let go of, pls email me. Thanks and ride hard.
