Had my bike for just over a year now; 2007 FLHX. I have had a bit of problems here and there but I am working through them.

I have wanted a Harley for a long time. I came back from Japan and decided it was time to fulfil the dream. Thanks for the welcome message, friend.

Thank you. I have lurked around here for a while. It is great to start getting into posting stuff, now that I have taken some time to learn about the bike.

Aint that the truth. I have worked on cars for the last 15 years, between my shop manual and these forums there is no reason to take it to the thousand dollar store to get work done.
