Howdy
After waiting two years after splitting up with the ex-wife and finally paying off all that debt the little @#$%^ left me with, I walked into Alamo City Harley Davidson and ordered me a 2006 Street Bob in Denim Black! I can hardly wait, the ship date is supposed to be 9/16 so this is going to be a long month. And I thought waiting for my CMP rifles sucked...
I really wanted to pick one up this weekend, but the only dealers in Texas that have a denium black one in stock don't want to deal on the bike (they all want way more than MSRP) , so I went to my friendly local MSRP shop and slapped down the deposit on one shipping soon.
Before the '06 models came out, I was really set on getting an FXDI superglide, but as soon as I saw the pic on the website of the Street Bob, I knew I had to have one! Thank goodness I had to financially wait until this month to get the bike! What luck!
This will be my first street bike, so I hope it is not too much bike for me. I have been riding dirt bikes sine I was 5, and twenty years later I am now looking to ride on the road. In case yall are wondering, yes I took the MSF course and I even have my license, so I am ready!
One thing I will need, though, is a back seat and foot pegs for the g/f to ride on. Are these pretty simple to install myself, or should I have the dealer do it?

Welcome, and don't forget to get a picture up when you get the bike. Congrats on a great purchase. Backrest and pegs are simple, but always pay to get done anything you don't feel comfortable doing. You be the judge!

Welcome from Pittsburgh! Adding the seat and footpegs isn't hard to do, but if you're unsure, you could have the dealer do it.
