After waiting a few weeks to take delivery she is finally home!!! Now the snow needs to melt and the rain needs to wash the salt away and its time to ride!

In the meantime some rc components slips, heat demon hand warmers with new grips, quick detach backrest and highway pegs...







I will ride anywhere. I haven't done a lot the last few years but my job is much more accommodating now and thats why i decided to upgrade my bike. Im ready for some longer trips. Im not a bar hopper either. I prefer to get out in the country and hit up the curves as well. We will definitely have to figure something out! Most of my buddies have either quit riding or ride rockets so they don't like long trips.

Can't imagine the torture of buying a bike in the winter and not being able to ride it.

Thank you for the welcome! I actually am moving to robinsdale this summer so not too far from you. Yes the next few months will be rough but it gives me time to add some fun accessories. I have a feeling that will never stop. We will have to get together and ride sometime!

Thank you! You will have to let me know when you move back down here! Maybe we can start riding!

I was thinking about getting the lights that mount on the back of the saddle bags. just under the covers.

He is a lucky SOB but crazy too. That salt will eat that bike up!

Invest in the rear turn signal/brake light converter from Harley or Custom Dynamics. Converts the yellow rear t/signals to red running/brake lights. My first Harley was a 2005 RK Standard. Still one of my favorite bikes. I do miss the up-slash stock cans, they belong on a King.
