Default Friendly Hello from Northern California
Hello to everyone!

I've been on the site for 5 months lying low and learning all I could. Finally pulled the trigger on a 2002 CVO Harley FXDWG3 in Ebony Black and Gold leaf Flames from Ron's Rad Rides in South Dakota (Great Guy by the way!). I'll try and post some pictures here for you to see. Just got the bike and took it into the Harley dealer here in Sacramento for the following:

New Racetech front springs and Gold Valve Emulator
New Rear Works Shocks (maybe Ohlins) built for my style of riding and weight
New Hydraulic Timing Chain Tensioner upgrade and Larger Oil Pump
New Lighting all the way around (L.E.D.)
New PM Six Piston Front Brake Calipers and matching rotor
There's some other stuff too...

Anyway, just saying hello and loving the Hec outta the site here for all the great info I cultivated, hoping I can be a contributor in some minor way in the future.
Thanks!

- Harley29
