Default New Guy from NC

Hello all. I recently joined this forum after doing research adn having questions about my Harley. I ride a 2001 Dynal Low Rider. I love my bike. This is my second Harley and bought it in August of 2010. My first Harley was a 2004 Sportster 1200C that was totaled when a 19 year old female decided to cross the center line before her driveway and hit me head on. Yes, I am still around to talk about it (thanks mostly to the Doctors at the Naval Hospital at Camp Lejeune). Hope all is having fun and looking forward to reading some post and getting some ideas for upgrades for my bike. As of now I have Python exhaust, SE Stage I carb kit, 2" estended forward controls, Harley Diamond Black pegs and heal rest kit, and Thunderstar front wheel (trying to get the rear soon). Upgrades awaiting install are leather tank bib with pouch, chrome hand control kit, V&H exhaust, adn possibly a handlebar conversion. Hope everyone has a great day.
