Hi there Mick. I deleted your avatar. Pls read the few HDForum Rules we have in the upper (or sticky) part of this Welcome Area Only forum. Specifically rule #1.

Thank you for understanding. Meanwhile Mick, I will be getting back to you regarding the upside down bar and shield.

In the mean time, we have a LOT of stuff here like technical, videos, humor, games, regional, a huge section on models, etc... enjoy!

BuzzCap7

P.S.: Mick, 'juss came back from a consult regarding the Bar & Shield.....kindly make sure the shield (if you still choose to use it) is right side up. Thanks pal......

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, a rough idea of your range per tank, 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, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!
