Hey guys, name is Mike i am picking up my " Black 2013 sportster 48" tomorrow.

I just recently got my license to ride so this is going to be my first bike but i been around them for a while now, my father has a 2009 Streetglide and a Custom chopper. I will post pics up tomorrow once i get the bike home. I been in the car scene for a while and thought it would be cool to go on some rides with my pops and some friends. They always tell me there is no feeling in the world like being on a bike but always respect it.

The parts i will be ordering are...

- V&H shortshots staggered exhaust
- Not sure what intake yet
- Burlys slammered kit (i love anything that can go low cars/bikes etc.)
- Black Headlight visor trim
- Some Willie G parts (powdercoated black)
- Black luggage rack
- Not sure which seat yet
- Grips
- Pegs
- Drag bars (not sure which ones will fit best)

any ideas?? I'm no genious when it comes to bikes. what drag bars will fit good with no hitting and no problems?

sorry to be a newb

Thanks guys.
