Newbie living in Bucks County, PA
« on: July 14, 2009, 10:51:56 PM »
Hello Everyone,

Just joining the site . . . got my first bike when I was 6 years old.  Honda MR50 dirt bike . . . 34 years later still get the same feeling when you take off in first.  Just bought a 2005 SE Fatboy Cobalt blue.  Take delivery next week.  Any advice for a newbie?

Switch out the exhausts (I Like the Vance and Hines 2 into 2 or you may prefer the 2 into 1), get a Power Commander and the rest is up to you. Watch out for rust veins in the front fender where the metal grind is.  I have an air conditioned garage and these rust veins just showed up almost overnight on my bike.  I sent a letter to the president of Harley for warranty consideration as this site will attest has this has been a problem since the bikes were built. They are currently considering my request. When I get the new fender I am going to undercoat it. Hope it helps....

Otherwise, a great bike, head turner, and awesome color selection!   :2vrolijk_21:
