New bike... Where to get parts?

[pancakecircus]

I Posted an into but don't see it anywhere, if it failed then i guess this is the intro. anyway i ended up buying a 2003 Husky, trading up from a 600 shadow was a big upgrade. not sure how it's going to work in the twistys though since i've scraped on left hand turns already and don't feel like i've pushed it that hard. either way it's pretty bad ass compared and don't mind slowing down a touch in the turns.

I bought it missing a rt rear turn signal though and need to know where a good place to buy parts is. where are you guys getting stuff? or is it all aftermarket?

Also i see that they are selling service manuals for a ton of money, is there anywhere online that has a PDF? i already found the owners manual thanks to this forum.

Thanks

Strokers in Dallas, J&P, or any of the BD Biker vendors in the vendor list.

I have noticed that I don't usually see my own posts until there is another afterwards - kind of weird.

So you decided to pull the trigger after all. Not surprised you scraped on turns. The Dogs tend to be a little longer and sit a bit lower than most other mass production scoots, in general. It definitely has a lower stance than your Honda. But I'm sure you'll get used to her real quick. Congrats!

you bought an 03, so parts wise 84-99 softail will fit. bars, pegs, controls, primary

Welcome.
Send me a PM with a email and I'll send you a PDF of the 03 service manual.

yep, it was actually uncontrollable, i went to look at it thinking i'd probably just be checking out a cool bike. One look at it and I wanted it, took it for a ride and it was all over... Starting to get use to it, i'm getting the honda ready to sell so I took it for a ride last night and it just felt soft and weak. I'll never be able to go back.

Having to slow down and plan your corners take a little getting used to but, dont notice after a while. You have to adopt a different style of riding with these Dogs....

Got any pics of the chopped CB750? chopped CB750 was my first street bike (late 80s) I purchased it from a friend already chopped: fender, custom seat, drag bars, kerker header it was awesome for the time I had it

i have some works in progress, it's not chopper style chopped but more like a brat style. took off all unnecessary crap, hid the electrics, relocated the battery under the swingarm, cut up some fenders and built a seat. i put the project aside until summers over and now i'm thinking of changing up the style a bit since i bought this new bike. I'll try and get post some pics when i can, i think i can add a gallery here? i wouldn't mind getting some new pics though since it's change a bit.
