Newbie from So Cal

Hi everyone just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Ruben from the
San Gabriel Valley here in Southern California. I recently acquired a 1994 Sportster 883 Hugger with a 148 miles on it for 3 grand. Its been garaged for 5 years and hasn't been started for 4 years. I am upgrading from a 1984 Honda Shadow 500 VT so I'm really looking forward to get the Sportster on the road.
With that all said and done plans are to get to get an Oddessy gel battery to get it started, but before that I'll find all the advice as to what to do since its been sitting for a while.
Thanks for reading and any tips you can give me.
Ruben
