Default New Member for California Central Coast

Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Magnus. I have been riding street bikes for 27 years. I am now on my fourth Harley. First Harley was a custom 2002 Sportster 1200. Number two was a 1994 Road King. Number three was a 2007 Ultra Classic. I just picked up a 2012 FLHX Denim Black. Motor and exhaust is still stock. Very happy so far. Working on powder coating almost all of the chrome matte black. I'm fortunate to have a great powder coating shop locally with really reasonable prices. Finishing a stereo upgrade. The final projects will be Yaffe Monkey Bars, Air Cleaner, Programmer, and Exhaust.

I have glanced at the forum a few times in the past but never really took the time to join. So here I am. I am enjoying the knowledge, experience, and opinions of so many of you on so many different topics.

Looking forward to interacting with all of you.

Magnus
