To be truthful...I am only deployed to Qatar with the Air Force. I am excited because I am purchasing my first Harley-Davidson ever and will get it when I go back to the South Carolina next month. Sorry to say this here but Ive been on Japaneses bikes until now. After renting a FatBoy in Maui, I got bit hard for H-Ds. I always wanted one. When my 25 year old son bought an 883 Last month, I got jealous, so...
I retire from the military in October and my 2020 Softail Heritage Classic 114 is my gift to myself.
I thought Id get a jump on the goings on by joining the forum early. As long as I beat my son to doing it. I cant let him win at everything!
Be safe yall. 2020 FLHCS

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding. Good Luck!!
