Default Newby - to Softail Side

I went ahead and traded my Street Bob (still in my signature) in this past Monday for 2010 Fatboy with only 4k miles. I was interested in something better suited for 2-up riding. After putting on 300 miles during a weekend of test riding, I was sold on the Fatty.

It came with the windshield, saddlebags, and backrest. I just add the V&H Propipe a few hours ago.

Lots of things to do to it to make it mine (as you can see from my Street Bob, I like black), but I'll get there.

Hey Socal, I like that name. Now if I could just figure out how to change that on this forum.

Yeah, 300 miles is a great test ride! In this case, it worked in their favor, because they sold it!

Nice bike, Those pipes looks good..

If I may add cause I like the looks of bags on a bike, now since U took off the stock pipes U might look into some bags that are taller, that way they will fill in the void U now have between the bottom of the bags and Ur pipes. Just saying..

Congrats and enjoy your new ride...

I also just last week traded in my '09 Street Bob for a new Heritage w/ABS and security system.

Maybe I need to change my user ID name as well...
