Default New Harley rider in Chicago

Hello, Brandon here, new to the forums. Built a couple cb750 cafe bikes, now new to harley with a 2010 Street Bob. Learning a lot thats for sure.

Bought the bike with mods, have to push buttons on the heads before I can turn it over, dont know all whats done to it.

I put the fattest tire i could after lots of research. Next thing on the list is to clean up the rear end by getting rid of the brake light. Also looking ot replace this exhaust, it covers the oil cap.

Any advice is welcomed.

Brandon,

The buttons on the cylinder heads are compression releases. I'm guessing your bike has had some pretty extensive work already done to need them. And welcome to the forums!
