Default Another New Guy

Hey All,

Just joined this forum. Been watchin' it for a while and I like what I see.

I have a 2010 Road King - Vivid Black. I ride one-up, so I put a Mustang Vintage Solo seat on it - sits great. Stock mufflers replaced with Rinehart slip-ons. Stock handlebars replaced with Heritage style bars w/aileron grips. A bunch of other stuff too.

I wanted to leave this bike "stock" when I first started lookin' - what a joke - I had $2,000 in accessories before it left the shop and I can't wait till I can put the next accessory on it. I'm tellin' ya, it's some kind of addictive disease. H-D has tapped right into our wallets and we willingly let them. Oh well, we're going to spend our money on something, might as well be on something we really enjoy. Harley's are "projects" that are always "in process".

I'll post pics soon.

Welcome from Pa. Nice bike, nice color... You thought you were going to spend money on your bike, just wait until you start reading all the posts. A few months back, I didn't know what an ECM was...now I am creating a matrix on CAMS..

Have fun!
