Hello From South of Houston, Texas. Thanks in advance for the welcome. I look forward to interacting with y'all and learning all about the bike i dreamt about since i was a kid. I've been riding for the better part of 20 years. It's one of my many passions that I love. Again, TIA for the welcome and hope I can bring something to the table here one day. I own 2 Harleys at this time, my favorite is my 2015 Road King. Just a standard run of the mill bike, Nothing special besides the baffles taken out of the stock pipes. And I like my music Loud, So I have a Rockford Fosgate 520 watts pushing two Fosgate 6x9 in the lids on rear top and 4 Kicker 6x8, two on top and two mounted in the front of the hard bags, HU is a standard Pioneer with AUX, Bluetooth. I am looking to install a batwing fairing, adding two more 6x9 up front, so I am pretty sure that I will have to do some work to the charging system to be able to keep up with the power being drawn to the amps, or just get a bigger amp with more channels and still have to work on the charging system. and recently I lost my friend that was my ride or die, His 2004 Dyna Low Rider was willed to me because he had to go on a small vacation at which time he lost just about all his belongings due to some sorry people that he thought he could trust except for his true love. His Dyna. He loved his bike more than anything. He was a friend, a brother and my true brother. Now once I get up to Heaven I am going to kick his *** because the bike was in pieces and he never maintained the bike. Drove me nuts, I use the wrong octane gas and I would have to spend money on mine to get it back where it needed to be. Him, hell he knew put gas and go. One of the only brothers I knew that no matter what situation he was in, he could fall in a pile of **** and come out smelling like a rose... We once rode 200 miles and he had a big screw sticking out of his tire and he would just look up to the sky and ask the Big Boss to get him home safely. I sure enough, 80mph ripping through traffic and he smiles the whole time.. One of a kind dude and I am proud to own this bike and will certainly do it justice. He loved batman so I am going to black it out with a few chrome details and once its finished I'm going to pick his mom up and take her for a ride that he never got to give here once the bike started acting up. So its in pieces, my hair is steadily falling out from scratching it..... So please let me know If anything I ask is a bit unusual.. But I do all my own wrenching on my trucks and bikes. But this TSSM and TSM and password this and push this twice and wait ten minutes then off on this is frustrating.... Anyone agree? ha. Alright enough of my rambling. Look forward to talking with everyone.
Thanks again!
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!!
