Default New guy

Just got my first bike a few weeks ago, a 2012 Nightster. Ive ridden bikes in my past with my dad and have been wanting to get a bike since the beginning of summer so I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it. So far I love the bike changed the signal lights to LEDs and smoked covers, pulled the belt gaurds off, as well as the front fender and reflectors, DK coil/key relocation, tank lift, wire tuck, HD mini apes, and python slip-ons, 48 seat, and HD billet mirrors. Planning on a figure machine filter, internal wiring the mini apes, and a stage 1 download, coke bottle grips for the first set of mods.
