Hey all,

I have owned Harley's for about 5 years now and when ever I need inspiration or technical help HDforums.com always comes up in my google searches. Naturally its time to start giving back. Currently Layla is my second Harley, she is a gorgeous ember sunglow 2012 FXDWG, I traded in Susan (my first Harley) for her. Susan is a vived black stunning 08 XL1200c. Me and Susan had a lot of fun but I needed something bigger as I am 6'2" and 225lbs so naturally I still get most of the excellent sporty attributes on a bigger, longer frame, and also Layla is just plane SEXY!!

I got her half tore apart at the moment, but I will put a pic in here as soon as I get the new LED light bar wired up, and the fender put back on.
