Hey everybody, I'm Jack.

Just picked up my new/lightly used Forty-Eight on Saturday. Got a good deal on it. Came with an aftermarket diamond stitch seat / air filter / white HD grips and only about 1000 miles. So far, I love it.....

Last 2 bikes were both Triumphs. I had a 2001 Daytona 955i and a 2009 Speed Triple 1050. Great bikes, both sport bikes. Wanted to try something new. Years ago, I thought HD bikes to be mainly old man bikes and oversized highway cruisers. When I saw the new 48 and 72 I realized I was dead wrong and picked one up. I love the old school bobber/chopper look and I cant wait to get into some upgrades.

Here's a couple pics,





And one of my boy...he's too little to ride but he's ready.

 

Jack, Welcome to the HD Forums from Texas. Cute kid!

 

Great bike, great kid!
Welcome to the forums from the Panhandle! Ride safe and looking forward to having you around.

 

Awesome bike & looks like a future rider there too - welcome!

 

Thanks!!

 

Welcome from Wisconsin.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Yup, he'll be a 3rd generation Harley rider if the family has anything to say about it. It took me a while to come around but we all end up on Harley's eventually.

 

Thanks!!!!!!

 

HEY EVERYBODY!!! Does anybody know how long it takes for PM's to activate??? I was searching forty eight threads with similar mods to figure out what all's been done to my bike and I think I found the original owner. I'd love to ask him if its got a stage 1 tune on it now and see what the other parts are but I cant PM!!!! BOOOO. Does this forum alert members for "mentions" if I just drop his screen name in my thread?
