Default Hello from MD

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forum so I'm doing my obligatory noobie post. I've been riding for about two years now. I started off on a 99' Kawasaki Vulcan 1500A, but that bike was just not my style. A few months after purchasing it I ended up buying my current pride and joy, a 2010 Sportster 48. The mods I have are as follows:

-Hooka custom 2-to-1 exhaust
-Upgraded cams
-Upgraded air filter
-Tuned
-12" apes
-1.5" tank lift (pic is prior to lift)
-LaPera seat
-Sissy bar
-LED tails & middle brake light relocate
-Ignition relocate
-Racing spark plugs
-Dyna Street Bob rear shocks

There's some other little things here and there, but not really post-worthy. Anyways, I look forward to learning all I can from these forums to get some new ideas and tips for DIY's!

-Justin
