Just joined HD Forums . . . bought my first bike a few months ago (Oct 2014) - a used 2009 HD Iron 883N with <4k miles on it.
Decent cosmetic shape, silver matte finish on the tank and fenders, blacked out stock engine. Previous owner(s) installed a Kuryakyn Mach2 air cleaner, Keystone handlebars, V&H blacked out short shots. Nice and loud, keeps drivers aware of my presence!
Anyway, just introducing myself. Total newbie to everything motorcycle related, but jumping in feet first. I bought a full 334 piece Craftsman toolset, J&S jack, and all the other gear from Harbor Freight to wrench on it myself. First project after it thaws out here in NY is the 5k service / fluid change in my garage.
