Hey guys. Just bought a 01 sportster 1200. New to harley world so would love if yall would give me some tips! Any helpful hints or info will be greatly appreciated! Cant wait to get on the road. Thanks in advance.

 

Welcome to HD world. post a pic and tell us what parts you got on your bike...exhaust...AC.

 

Oh and just browse through the posts on the forum and you'll get all kinds of idea's.

 

browsing the forums can get expensive though
too many people with good ideas and before you know it your wish list is growing.
As is the bill!
BUt enjoy your bike and lets see some pics

Welcome from the UK

 

look at dennis kirk or j&p cycles websites lots of options to make ur bike diff and some can be done cheap like smoked turn signal lens for 25dlrs or smoked tail light lens for 20dlrs lots of options

 

Congrats...biggest tip = don't be a "Bad Boy Brad!"

 

Sh*t Iceman24,that's funny

 

Oh and post a pic!

 

this is what I would do
check the oil so that you know where it should be when 'normal'.
walk around the bike and check it out real good checking for anything
that doesn't look quite right such as oil leaks and grease coming from the wheel bearings..
admire the great paint and chrome and give it a nice shine up with a soft towel and windex...when it is real clean and shiny put a coat of wax on the paint..
check tires of cracks and age and add air if needed...
sigh loudly wishing it was nice enough to ride...
sit on the bike and raise the jiffy stand (side stand for newbees)
rock the bike back and forth and bounce the suspension to
get a good feel for the weight of the bike.. sigh again...
wait for good weather and ride the **** out of it...

 

That's what I've been doing ^^. I also got a bunch of little things while waiting for the arctic blast to end from the Harley store and J&P. I got a chrome voltage regulator cover, and chrome headlight bracket, and some new grips. It doesn't take much to make me happy.
