Thank you for all the welcomes so far, and also to you Veterans for your service!
This is good advice right here. I've always kept all records and receipts when it comes to maintenance/modifications, if nothing else for my own sanity... keeping up on a small fleet can get to ya sometimes. The FSM and parts manuals have been indispensable during my rebuild process... after tearing into the old girl so many times, I think I know most of the FSM by heart at this point!
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!!

Typically, we would have just moved your entire post and sent you that letter I referenced above. But there was something in your write up that made it clear to me, you are a VERY nice guy with no intention of trying to be sneaky in getting advertising into this forum in an unacceptable manner.
You came through as a true blue chap with admirable integrity.
I have nvr b4 handed out a "heads up" as I did. And if that is not enough, your kind reply to me as well as Izzo (an excellent Admin here), it goes to show you are a man of quality.
Kudo's to you my friend. It is a pleasure to have you here with us. But, the 1st beer
is still on you. 
GOOD to have you here!
