Default 1st Timer

I just found this site yesterday and it's already been a great help to me. I am a 1st time Harley owner (Dyna Super Glide 05). Just picked up my bike a month ago and have already put on 1000 miles and I'm having a blast. I've already done quite a bit to the bike including a windshield, grips, sissy bar, luggage rack, pad, sissy bar bag, and a fork bag. I went back yesterday and ordered the SE slip on's after reading all the feedback on pipes, I felt these best fit my needs. Couldn't resist and also ordered the rear suspension lowering kit and saddle bags and the chrome battery cover. I just about have the catalog memorized and now I'm working on the part numbers!
