I recently rode a Harley McDougal for the first time in more years than the majority of this readership is old. I purchased a 2006 XL1200L primarily because the young lady was strapped for cash and it's a cream puff, sort of. Idling rough when I rode it home 2 days later, no start. This is not the venue to broach what has transpired in the last couple weeks. I've owned all manor of 2 wheeled beasts a first year CB750 which was my only ride for 3 years. Chained to the apt. complex courtyard light standard my butt froze to the seat more times than I liked. i picked up a 55 pan like new and rode it for years i don't see that happening w/this sporty. Anyway howdy from Cowtown.

Welcome

 

Welcome to the HDFORUM.

I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here.

Only as a suggestion, by me as a USER, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.

The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.

Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.

Of course, you can add it to any post with a question.

You can also add any other details you choose and a favorite picture to the signature line.

If you like, you can also add another favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your post as a postage stamp.

I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
