New to forum and Harley
Bought an ‘09 Road King with 20k on the clock in February of this year..upgraded it with a Hartco seat, Progressive 444s on the rear end, Progressive cartridges in the front, Michelin’s fore and aft...heated hand grips...
First trip, 4,500 mile tour of California and other parts west...mileage in the mid 40’s when I did the speed limit...
Realized a couple things, 1) heavy duty Progressive springs are too stiff for me even loaded and two up. 2) exhaust too loud...
I’ve been riding since 1966, metrics for the most part, ridden Moto Guzzis about 20 years and still have an EV 1100 that I really like...
im 67 and I woke up one day and realized that I wanted a bike with belt drive, fuel injection, electronic cruise control,
i opened my Facebook account and there was my Harley, 7 miles away and I went and bought it..
So here I am!
