Greetings and salutations from Cape Cod MA. Turned 40 this year and fresh off a divorce so what better time to get a bike. Low mile '03 Heritage. Grew up on dirt bikes and quads, this is my first Harley. It's always been something I wanted. I picked it up right before all the Covid business started and it's been a great way to "social distance." I'm I tinkerer by nature and already bolted a bunch of crap on, swapped to all LED, got rid of those gawd awful blinkers, air, exhaust and a carb rejet. Cams are in the mail as I'm typing this. Want to thank everyone here, I've been lurking the last few months and already picked up some great tips. The way it's going I'll probably do heads and a big bore over the winter as long as work doesn't dry up. Before Now Already been here. Remember to make sure your battery is charging when buying a used bike!
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!!
