Hello all, I've been lurking here for a couple of months already so figured it was time for the obligatory intro post and all.
I am a long time rider - 37 years running - rode dirt bikes then street bikes. Bought my first Harley in 2001 - a 2002 FLHRC/I and quickly developed a rather extreme case of OCD. Had an 07 black/orange jester on order (was due in April), but thanks to the uncertainty caused by strikers in York and a fellow who planned to own a red jester (now mine) after his 06 Ultse was totaled and then un-totaled by his insurance company. His purchase plans evaporated as a result & I decided red sooner was better than black later. A phone call from my friendly Harley dealer in February was all it took to change me from black to red. Ok, I can be fickle, but that's another story for another day.
Very interesting site here with lots of great practical advice on items priced impractically. After riding the new bike a little over 1,000 miles the last couple of weeks & reading here, I decided to go with Rinehart true duals (love them long time on the 02 Road King, which I still have, BTW) the race tuner, and a Stage 1. Getting ready to move the tour pack back a little further thanks to info from this site and eventually plan to do the quick release on the tour pack, relocate the amp, and do speaker upgrades. Ordering some J & M antennas today. So far the OCD has not kicked in for the new jester (yet).
Oh yeah, I read this somewhere already....
No pics of the bike yet except for the ones hogpics and roadpics took in Daytona on the Loop, but there will be some before long. Thanks for this site, to whoever is the keeper (keepers?) of this Wild Kingdom on 2 wheels, and all the posters with good advice here.
