Congrats on the new bike. Do yourself a favor and take a good rider safety course, some good riding gear, and the HD service manual. Too many new riders crash their bikes because they don't know how to ride safely, or suffer more severe injuries for lack of good riding gear. The Service Manual you will help you keep your ride reliable and save you many $$$ if you do some of the work yourself.
