This is my first post, as well as my first Harley. My wife bought me a new
2009 RK back in May while I was on a week long fishing trip. Vivid black
with ABS,Security, and Profiles. I think I'll keep her around for a while!!
This site has provided many hours of entertainment and much needed
info on the obsession of these fine machines. I hail from beautiful British
Columbia, Canada. Vancouver area to be more accurate. My background
for the past 18 years has been in Auto and Medium duty, Electronic and
Fuel system diagnosis and repair. From what I've read regarding A/F ratio's and wide vs narrow band o2 sensors, re mapping ecm's, Pledge ect...
I've got a little bit of a learning curve in front of me. Sorry, no pic's right now, but I will post a few of some trips we have planned in the next month.

Love the Road King....
