Hello all, just purchased a 2020 leftover HD Streetglide Special. My 1st HD that I've owned, though I have wrenched and ride a few over the years,
My other bike is a 2017 KTM Superduke that has been fully built and kitted. Under 450Lbs, dyno's at 189HP/105Trq. It's a Beast plain and simple, takes a big commitment to ride it which is why I wanted to add a more relaxed bike to the stable hence the FLHXS (That is the right abbreviations correct?)
I've already ordered the 131 Kit, Frt/Rear Legends Suspension, Lower Fairings, Full LED Headlight and Driving/Fog Light upgrades, along with some other comfort upgrades needed due to my short inseam.
Mainly, the bike was bought so I could carry around my GF which is not possible on the KTM however, the more I ride the Glide, the more in love I become with it, something this dated (Technically speaking) shouldn't be this good.
Whelp, I'm sure I'll be searching and asking a million questions. Thanks for the add.
P.S., 1st question, LOL......Is the S+S Oil Pump, Cam Plate and Lifter Guides a must have in the M8? If so, anyone know how has them in stock?
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!!
Hi Ryan from 1 MASS goy to another. GOOD to have u here man.
