I知 everyone, I知 a newbie.
i just got my HD 2003 fat boy 100th anniversary non efi.

Im using this winter to learn much as I can about my bike, I need to get some decent tools, more than the regular beginners kit.
just to start I think Harley uses SAE or ??
any advice is more than enough.

 

H-D is predominantly SAE
There are exceptions, i.e. you`ll need 10MM to connect/disconnect the battery terminals

 

Aeropuerto, thanks a bunch.

 

Get a combo SAE/METRIC tool kit.
Torque wrenches inch lb, ft lb (2 ranges)
Some large box wrenches
a digital multi meter
a case of beer ( or the liquid of your choice)
some tranquilizers
and don稚 believe most of the people here.
Except Spanner.

 

If you want to carry tools when you ride.
Adjustable wench
Few Alan's
screw drivers 2
zip ties
vice grips
Blow up Dall
Vasean

 

Thanks for the warm response from everyone, this is very helpful.
I live in queens nyc and I知 getting an small garage for my bike and the idea is to having my working station there.

 

Thank is the exact bike I was always hoping to find. Love the Anniversary Editions.
As for tools - ASE tools. Set of 1/4 & 3/8 sockets, ratchets, extensions. Full set of combination wrenches. 1/4-1". Couple large adjustable wrenches and at least one that can adjust to larger than 1". Screwdriver set. A couple of pry bars. Med size ball-peen hammer and med. size dead blow hammer.
A great place to find some good quality tools is Craigslist or garage sales or those type of deals. Look for Snap-On, old Craftsman, Old Williams, Proto brands, old Husky. The Husky the Home Depot sells is really not bad at all for the price.
That should get you going. Oh, A manual!
Good luck - It's fun and very rewarding to work on your own bike.

 

First order of business
Buy a battery tender , remove the seat, use the 10mm open end wrench to permanently install the pigtail on the battery connections so it can be plugged in
Winters in NY are long....

 

Yes I知 diving on internet already

 

that痴 done already 👌🏽
