Default New Guy from IL
Hey all, I am new to the forum world, and newer to American bikes. I just purchased a "brand new" 2001 special construction Fabtech softail with an 80in EVO (Ultima cases), 5 spd, and stock dimensions. It is basically a stock '97 FXSTC. I hope to enjoy my stay, learn a lot, and hopefully be able to contribute!
