Here's a shot of her. Feel like I should name it but not sure what.

Came with these saddlebags. They are obviously very used and I'm not a fan of the southwest look so I'm researching new bags. If anyone can give recommendations, that would be great. I will say, a lot of the parts confuse me since most say for "softails" but not specifically the springer classics. Not sure what crossover parts would fit it.

Hah, thanks harderd. I actually grew up in Fayettnam (fayetteville -- military brat). I missed the south. My wife was born and raised in Pa and was sick of the nasty winters. So after spending 25 years up in Hershey, we decided to make a change and head south. No particular reason except for southern hospitality and warmer climates.

Hey Frank. Thx. No, sadly I didn't. I have to take the rider course this week from HD of Charlotte to get my NC endorsement before I can participate in these rides. My PA license expired 17 years ago. haha

Did you?
