Default First Harley...
Been lurking for a while, so I figure I better get some posts in if I am going to take advantage of this place... Just bought my first HD about two months ago, picked up a 2001 E-Glide Standard with about 8k on the odometer. Walked out the door for less than $7k. Pretty happy about that, bone stock, so it is a blank canvas for me. To date I have put some cycle shack slip-ons and a hog tunes system on. Have a set of SE203 cams I picked up CHEAP waiting to go in... I came off an 05 Kawi Mean Streak that I had about hit the limit on with out going full blown custom, so looking forward to the almost limitless possibilities of an HD.
