Hey everybody.

I finally reached a point where I could get into one of these machines and bought an '05 with the Z51 package in Lemans Blue and a 6 speed.

I can't seem to wipe the smile off my face yet and it's been five days. Thinking I may have to call a doc… but I'll wait till my Airaid CAI gets here this afternoon and see if that changes anything

I've been lurking for a few days and have already picked up on some good info. Thanks to all of you knowledgeable guys for sharing things in here for people like me who are completely new to the intricacies of each production year.

Thanks guys.

It's been a bit of a whirlwind lately but I plan to give her a good bath and shoot some tasteful pics next week. Hopefully it will be easier to load photos in here than it's been on the Harley forum I'm on.

On a side note, the Airaid was a nice addition today
