    Intro - SapperWing

    Heya - bit of a lurker, but still very much a F6B newbie.

    My last bike was a VTX1800 in 2002 - as soon as they hit the showroom floor...... Had to get rid of it around 2008. Fast forward 12 years, I'm stationed at Ft. Carson, Colorado and finally have the opportunity to get back into a street bike.

    Tonight, Sunday, is the first night my new (to me) 2015 Silver (Gray?) deluxe (12000 miles) is down in the garage.

    My road still is slick with ice - so I doubt I'll get much street time until March, but I do have about an hour on it (while it was sitting at a friends house).

    My order of mods are (per "BigCat's" videos - I think he had a great setup)
    1) PC-8 fuseblock
    2) Rear LED full rear running lights with switchback turn signals + TIR 3 \ Wigwag setup.
    3) Front LED fogs + Front LED switchback turn signals
    4) Mad windshield
    5) RDL seat

    I'll probably try to order the parts for 1,2,3 all at once this week. Finding a decent set sockets for the rear switchback bulbs may be problematic, but we'll give it a shot.

    Anyhoo - probably will be posting quite a few questions....

    Thanks -
    SapperWing (Not for GoldWings.... Sapper = Combat Engineer + Detroit RedWings = SapperWing)

    Congrats on the new bike. I like your list that covers lights front and rear. Same thing I did a while back. I have 5 different windshields (including OEM) that I rotate depending on time of year. I ride all year round if the roads are clear and dry. I am going to put the Mad windshield on my list of things to try.

    Welcome from Central Texas. Enjoy the new ride.

    I traded my 2002 (not new to me) 1800 VTX "R" for a NEW 2016 F6B in July and Iv'e never looked back. It came from the dealership with an aftermarket Baggershield already and I'm very happy with it. I did upgrade to the adjustable model.

Freedom Combat Slip-Ons, BaggerShield 11" - 19" Sport Shield, Kuryakyn Ergo II Highway Pegs, Ultimate King Seat w/Driver Backrest, Pathfinder Running/Turnsignal/Driving Lights, Beeline Moto Navigation, INNOVV K2 Camera, DHS Racing Shifter Linkage Upgrade, Show Chrome Handlebar Risers and Luggage Rack.
