Congrats and welcome to the "metric conversion" club. I went from a Vulcan 900 to a Road King last spring, and still can't get the grin off my face!!

Welcome to the money pit. This forum is going to lighten your wallet. 04 RK custom and still love it. I still have the stock bars on but have been mulling over ape hangers.

You're only 20!!? Heck, if you are 20 and have enough cabbage to buy an HD, saving for the goodies shouldn't be much of a problem.

My seasoned parts guy states that the Klock Werks Ergo bars are the most comfortable bars he has ever had. Pricey but only do it once, Heritage bars were also the favorite choice and less money. Both use stock cables & wires which saves headach's.

Congrads on getting a Harley at young age. Still bugs me I didn't buy my uncle's 52 Pan for $175 at 16.
