Good afternoon everyone,

My name's Matt. I'm a California native that just moved (and rode cross country) to Brooklyn, NY. I've been riding motorcycles for the past 10 years and finally found myself on a HD, and its definitely the sweet spot of what I want out of riding a motorcycle.

I'm currently riding a 2014 FXDL (Dyna Low Rider) with some small but tasteful mods. Im experiencing some oil blow by and will be digging into the engine soon, and will likely call out for some advice! However, i'm a pretty tech and mechanically savvy guy so I enjoy working on my own cars (oil changes to transmission swaps) and bikes alike (just replaced my rocker box gaskets, as the front one began weeping oil) so I'm no stranger to getting dirty and putting in some elbow grease. I'm fortunate enough to have a factory service manual and lift at my disposal that I'm willing to share to whoever needs it!

Some quick details on what ive added/changed out on my bike

Conelys front fairing
14 in risers
SDC Pro Series Gripper Seat
Ohlins Nix 22 cartridges
Ohlins HD220 rear shocks
Vance and Hines FP3
Horsepower Inc 2 into 1 exhaust
Pirelli Night Dragons (will have to check sizes)
Lyndall Pads
SDC bar Bag
Thrashing Supply Essential Bags

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope that gives you some insight as to where my never-ending-journey of upgrades is currently at!

Please feel free to reach out with any questions, insight, or just to meet and ride!

Cheers

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!!

Or we will have discipline you and if you don't "get it" we will need to discipline you biker style.

Now let’s get serious for your orientation. Go down the hall on your left to the 1st room. No, wait. The 1st room on your right. That is where the commissary is.

Then you will see doors marked for the mortuary, skeet shooting, a room where we make fun of In-Jun bikes, and of course we have a ahh, umm, oh yeah a across the hall.

We had a BOMB MAKING room but, well, ahhhhh, 1 of the guys just didn't understand Blasting Caps very well so..... you know.

We have our own pub .

So don't be a wall flower watching others . Get involved.

See you around mate. I am going to the commissary now.
