Howdy folks.

New to the forums. Been a long time harley owner. Origionally from Milwaukee but now in south east tx. I have owned and built a 92 softail custom and a 98 ultraclassic. I hwve been bikeless for 5 yrs and just bought a new leftover 2013 blackline. Thry made me such a deal I couldnt pass it up. Only paid about a grand more then the used haritage I went in to look at. I think this bike is a great platform to start with but there is quite a bit I dont like so I will be reworking it as money allows.

Welcome aboard and back, as it were. Would like to see you do a photo-series on your rebuild as you can post them.

Thanks. I always take pics. I hwvent even picked it up yet, thursday is my next day off.

I have owned nothing but evo motors and having been away from bikes for as long as I have I was unaware of many of the changes. Now I find out I have w bike I cant even swap pipes and intake on without reprograming the computer??? And dont get me started on it having cats, its a new world I guess.

May not be the place and I am still reading forums but if I put on a set of v&h pipes with no cats and a good intake will the fuel .oto micro efi be all I need in the reprograming department? Also how is harley about warranty, will that void it?
