Re: New tires.
Thanks for the pics Paul. The color on that 84 looks almost the same as my 05. Mine does have the decal.

Re: New tires.
[emoji106] Excellent. Being comfortable is key. I always worry about new riders not having the overall comfort level that us old timers have with our own rides. Enjoy this one, Paul.MattSunn wrote:Got it a few months ago, traded my 03 Jeep for it. Had 8200 on it when I got it. The previous owner added a lot of chrome. I was surprised how well it fit me, although I may convert the pegs for floorboards. I always stayed away from Softails because I'd heard the handling was awful. Not so, and for a big bike, it's surprisingly nimble, even at low speeds. Probably the best big bike I've ever owned, not that I've owned too many large bikes. I'm extremely comfortable on this bike, both physically and confidence-wise.
