Tool kit
I’m everyone, I’m 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.

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’t believe most of the people here.
Except Spanner.

Great!
Thanks for the warm response from everyone, this is very helpful.
I live in queens nyc and I’m 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.

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
