If you have questions about engines, exhaust systems, audio issues, etc… then:

2) Then come down to and Roll Over “Harley Davidson Tech & Mechanical Forum”
3) Then come down to the section that would be most appropriate for your question like Audio Systems, Engine Mechanical Topics, Exhaust System Topics, etc… and CLICK on the topic you have a question about.
You will find the knowledge here is EXCELLENT and these here mates are willing to help you in any way they can. ‘juss be careful. There are some “Trolls”, so I suggest just ignoring them ‘ole farts.

Grew up on a 1979 Yamaha MX100 that I bought when I was 12/13 years old for $25...
It had no brakes, no foot pegs, and no kick starter because someone tried to kick start it w/o the pegs on and put the starter through the oil cover...
Parents wouldn't "let" me have a motorcycle so I plugged the hole in the oil cover with a couple of rubber washers and a small bolt, and kept it in a friends garage for a couple of years. Talked my dad into giving me $100 bucks to buy it from that same friend a couple of years later and put the cash into brakes, pegs, and a present for my girlfriend at the time... kick starter never fit again because of the bolt through the cover...rode it that way for years until all other demands of life kept me off of it.
Just happy to be back on two wheels.

Looking forward to taking it apart and putting it back together bit by bit.
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!!
