Well I am almost forty so I figured this was as good a time as any to buy my first motorcycle and it might as well be a Harley while I am at. I picked a 2012 48, I'll post a build thread at some point, but for now...V&H short shots (yeah I know, everyone's got em but, they look really good on a 48) Joker machine A/C, rear tail lights with shorter spacers. It must be a great scoot because my wife traded in her Yamaha Stryker a week later on a 2012 Nightster and promptly slapped on some V&H Big radius and RSD a/c...yup she can turn a wrench ....So me, I am an Explosive Ordnance Disposal tech in the USAF, been in over 20yrs, been to Iraq a few times, stationed in NorCal...in general having a pretty good time.
