first harley, first post.
whats up, my names rob i'm from staten island, ny. I just picked up a 2010 sportster 48 from the local hd dealer last week, my first real bike, and Im real excited to start stripping it down and making it my own. got home this morning from work to find the short shots, pc v, and big sucker stage 2 i ordered at my house. on the fence about whether or not to install on my own.
a guy who was reccomended to me said $250 for all three to install... might take a shot on my own, whats your take on the difficulty? the a/c looks easy enough and the pcv looks to be plug and play, i think the pipes would prob be most difficult. again hello, and thats for the input.
ps. cant figure out how to post a banner in my sig, so heres my bike as it is in its current stock form (sans reflectors):
