Default 2007 Deuce from Charlotte, NC

Hello all,
I picked up my first Harley in early February, but have taken some time before I made my way to this site. I think the itch to start the modifications is what lured me in. I've read some great posts and tips here and decided to join.

The 96 inch 6-speed beauty from the motor company now shares garage space with my other 2 wheeled treat a 98 KLR 650. The KLR and I have shared many great rides both on and off road, but I decided a Harley was next. The process started several years ago when I rented a Deuce for a charity ride in eastern MA. After that day on the bike I told myself that someday I would have one. I resisted the urge to spend less on other cruisers to "fill the need" and decided to ride the KLR until Harley day came. Other Harleys were sampled at various bike week demos and other rentals, but I still came back to the Deuce.

The feeling of riding this thing far surpasses what I had imagined and now that my 1000 miles of break-in riding is nearly complete, let the mods begin!

I'm Looking forward to sharing some great tips and times with you all. I've relocated to Charlotte in the last year from the Boston area and look forward to an extended riding season.

Here is a quick pic for now, more to follow as things change



Later,
Rich

Welcome from Salem, Oregon - Congratulations onyour newDeuce! I am sure that you will get plenty of ideas on this forum on how to spend your hard earned cash on modifications to make your signature on your bike. I have a feeling that your KLR 650 isn't going to get much more road time now. Have fun, ride safe...
