    Happy New Owner in Long Island, NY

    Hi everyone! Big Smile

    I just bought a leftover 2007 Warrior (Silver) yesterday. I switched over from a Boulevard C50 and WOW is it different.

    It's going to take a little to get used to the riding position, but I think I'll be ok. I can't wait to start getting parts and modding till the cows come home... Of course I don't have cows...

    My first few mods will be cleaning up the tail section,  V&H Pro Shot exhaust (I think...), and making it a bit more comfortable for my wife to get on the back. She loved the C50 and how comfortable it was being on the back, so I'm going to have to make it a top priority.

    Anyway, I'm just really excited and glad to be here.

    Rich

    Corbin and Mustang make the best 2-up seats for the Warrior. Regrettably, the Mustang seat doesn exactly fit the 04+ models so if you go that route you'll have to drill some holes in your fender and get an inner fender from an 02-03.

     

    Welcome to the Madness!

    And another ex-long islander here (Levittown).  This bike rocks and you will have a blast.

     Welcome to the 4m. 

    This site usually has all the information you could want.  Lots and lots of mods will soon be on your list.

    Thanks

    I'll definitely try. My wife and I are in the process of moving, so things are a bit hectic right now.

    Also, I've yet to go on a group ride so I'll definitely be looking to do one before the end of the summer.
