picking it up tomorrow. I also have a 2018 1200 iron. what kind of isues are there with these models? I plan on working on it myself when it does break so any info on books would be helpful. not sure if chiltons covers bikes.

 

Get a Harley service manual

 

I've got the service manual for 2013 Electra Glide and another for 2013 Trike. They run really hot so plan on some kind of tuning or a fan, maybe both. I had trouble with the emergency brake and took it off and now use a Velcro strap on the front brake brake lever. I had to replace the rear disc and pads because the man that had it before me left the emergency brakes on and wore them out... The bike seems to run strong, but uses a lot of gas. It handles well and have ridden the Dragon multiple times. Not as much fun as two wheels, but you do what you got to to stay in the wind. Good luck.

 

Good luck on your new ride.

 

Took my 13 to the Harley Dealer for an oil change a few years back. Went to pick it and I was presented a bill for $1800.00. I thought that was a little high even with synthetic.
- clutch cable
- rocker box leaking
- shift lever leaking
- 2 other seals leaking
- rear brake pads
- I forget...something loose and was replaced on both lowers
- parking brake dragging

They didn't know I had extended warranty so they adjusted the bill. This is why I believe in extended warranties.

This is my first Harley and it has been a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy yours too!

 

Welcome to the 3 world!
when you sit on the trike, stretch your arms straight out sideways, this is about how wide you are around gas pumps & curbs. Also, don't put you feet down at stops.

 

.............congrats on the tri......i highly reccomend getting the harley davidson service manual and the parts manual...you might also need the regular same year two wheel manual.......i have service and parts manual for all my bikes ever........
about forty five years ago i was a parts man in a car shop......those books are most helpful.......good luck..
