Default Greetings from Upstate NY.

Hi all. My name is Andy and I am the lead guitarist for the gothprog metal band Haunted By Angels. Just bought my first Harley and found your forums on Google. Looks like a great place to settle. In addition to playing guitar, my day job is a tech/mgr at a local family run music store called Hamlin's Music and, I also own and operate my own pro recording studio (Dragon Note Recording Studios). The studio not only records and produces bands and solo artists but I do independent artist development as well. Helping artists represent themselves in the music biz and make money from their craft.

I own a 2001 Sportster 883XL Custom that I just bought used from gentleman in my area. This bike had 190 miles on it and was for all intents and purposes, brand new. I have added custom grips, pegs, battery cover, ignition cover, gas cap, saddlebags.



Now I am looking to upgrade the performance. I will post in the appropriate forum with my ideas and questions.

Make sure you drop me a note here and say hello, I love meeting new people!!
