Hi all, I have a 2006, black/sunset red classic.
I live near Fresno and work (Civil Service) at a Naval Air Station in the area. Came here on active duty about 15 years ago and it grew on us, so we retired/stayed here
I came into the R3 community about 3 weeks ago by trading a 2003 HD Screamin' Eagle Road King. Loved it, rode it to Rhode Island and back, rode it to Phoenix and back 3 times, etc. But after sitting on an R3 up in Las Vegas, I was hooked. Also the prospect of having a water-cooled motor was a top priority. Love the shaft drive, love the fact that it doesn't feel like I'm sitting in a blender at stoplights, love the fact that it doesn't take 6 hours to clean it, and best of all, IT IS "OH-MY-GOD" FAST. My SERK had a 103ci motor, but ours is in a differnet league all together. Just absolutely classy looking.
So far, I've installed a sport screen and tall sissy bar/rack. Got Jardines as well. All three were part of the trade. Waiting for my Tuneboy to get here, and hoping to find a tune for Jardines AND stock air filter (I don't really want to screw with that just yet). I do plan to begin the install tomorrow. I've been lurking here for about 3 or 4 days and am impressed with the site and the riders on it. Lot's of great information! I hope to be able to contribute soon as I begin to learn the R3 and forget the SERK.
