Welcome to the fofum, and cheers on the new bike...
I'd suggest you use the search box for info about the end can...
...you'll also find tons of info here...
My 1st bike was a virago 250...
I've ridden (not owned) a few choppers including a harley in the past years but not being able to hold the bike with my legs just doesn't work out for me, i feel so not in control when i'm sitting on cruisers...
They are beutiful to look at though...
