Mornin' All.....

I've been here for a little while and have made a few posts. However I spend most of my time reading and learning. Last bike I had was down in Florida back in the late 80's - early 90's....Honda CBR 1100. Now that I'm older and wiser() I decided it was time get back on a bike but this time for cruising. So my wife and I bought a couple Harleys. She went with the '05 Softail Deluxe and I went with the '05 Road King Classic.

The picture below is at the dealer on delivery day, July 2nd. Since then I have done a few mods which include the V&H True Duals, V&H slip-on mufflers, Stage 1 flash, SE Air Cleaner, Power Commander IIIusb, Sundowner Solo seat, quick detach solo rack, RK Classic TourPak, Kuryakyn ISO grips, and Kuryakyn Switchblade foot pegs along with some other stuff just to personalize it.

Thanks for reading and ride safe.....

CJ

Here's the wife's bike. She had the dealer install the V&H pipes before delivery.
