Hi guys & gals,

I've been building old school Choppers and hot rods for what seems like forever now. I just bought my first "new" Harley, a 2006 FXSTS-I wide tire springer. I'm told it's the last year of the softail springer and the wide tire deal. I fell on to it and got it for a song. Couldn't pass it up. I've been a member of the jockeyjournal.com for years as I've built old shovels and whatnot, but now that I have questions on the new bike I figured I'd sign up and give this place a shot.

Mike
