Headed to Dallas from Houston this morning to pick up my "new to me" '03 Low Rider. I'm looking forward to exploring east Texas on it with my wife. I haven't consistently been on a motorcycle since I was 16, so any advice is welcome. I took the Riders Edge course and will be taking it easy for as long as I can stand it. The first thing I do when I get it home is checking the cam chain tensioners and going over it to make sure nothing is loose or looks worn. Any other things that I need to check right away? Thanks for any help and I'm eager to learn from y'all.
Congrats EL. I purchased my first HD (an 01 Low Rider) a few months ago. However I've been riding like forever it seems : )
Not much advice to give that you've already mentioned. Check the plugs, change the oil, etc & so on.
It's a very easy bike to ride. If you plan on longer trips I think a windshield would be a must-have. Without one & on the highway it feels like the wind is trying to take you off the bike. : )
