Default Back on a Harley
Well after about 4 years of not having a bike I'm back. I wanted a Springer and I found a '98 FX Springer. It has 2900 miles, but not for much longer haha. Besides getting new fluids, tune up and a new front tire it was in fantastic shape. Just thought I'd share. I tried attaching a pic but it keeps showing up sideways.

Welcome back.

Check the manufacture date code on the rear tire and replace it if it is six or more years old - even it the tire looks great.
