Default hello from florida
Hi i am a new owner.

1997 softail purchased yesterday.

i hope i didnt make a mistake its a bit heavy for me and i keep stalling the damn thing.

i have to give it a lot of gas and am afraid leaping from dead stop into a right or left turn is not a good idea.

i joined because i want a 240 fat tire kit and hope to find one on this site.
