Default Hi Guys....

Well, coming over from the Sportie section after a few years. Been riding bikes a long time and just ventured into the world of Harley with the Sportie. I picked up a 2005 Electra Glide Classic Peace Officer Edition the other day with 25K miles.

I lurked here a while before I made the decision to move over to touring. On my watch list is the compensator, cam bushings, and transmission bearing. Is there anything else I should be watching for as I start adding miles?

The bike is just about 100% stock and my plan (at least for now anyway) is to leave it that way unless something breaks.
