Hey Guys, my name Steve. I'm Native Texan and I just bought my first Harley after riding metric cruisers. I had a lay-down a little over couple weeks ago that totaled my Suzuki Boulevard...bastage did a u-turn in front of me and almost took me out of my beautiful grand daughter's play-time and action figure list. Progressive paid me pretty good for the old girl and my wife agreed to let me join the Real Bike Ownership World and the Street Glide made it's way into our family...I am glad to be here and I hope to learn from you old hands and knowledgeable riders about this piece of American Muscle. I also hope to be able to be a contributing member here as well with my DIY and Fabricating skills. I currently modify a shaft drive for the Suzuki Boulevard from one model to another that gives a lesser HP bike 14% more gear ratio that makes it a superior bike for slab cruising.

Steve

G'day Steve,

A fellow new member here, Dave. I'm from Australia, currently owning a 2006 FXDB. I'd be very interested in hearing about your ideas etc.
