Hello guys,

New to the forum but not HD. Took delivery of a 2010 model Street Bob last Friday. 100 miles on the clock from Norwich Harley-Davidson dealership. Totally standard [for now] in Red Sunglo. Did 30 miles in the cold over the weekend.

My last HD was a 2000 model FatBoy which I modded a fair bit. Had that 3 years then went back to sportsbikes. Over that now!

First impressions of Street Bob are much better ride and handling than the FatBoy but the bars are waaaay to tall! I felt like a sheet on a washing line!

So need lower bars and louder exhaust. Also rear footrests and detachable pillion seat. Other than that just gonna ride it.

JB
