First one
I’ve had a couple naked sport bikes in my years. Always liked the V twin but never felt the need to have a Harley until I saw the new M8 Fat Bob and lost it. A week or two later I was picking up my new bike and ordering goodies…2-up seat, riding gear, sissy bar/rack/pad, exhaust, cruise control. Man, Harley sure knows how to keep you spending huh?
anyways, I love the bike. Awesome sound with the Vance&Hines slip-ons. Good power but may add a stage 2 later on. Looking forward to learning more about the do’s and dont’s from the veterans here. 👍

Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!
Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture you will see in the top left corner of your post.
And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with.
(See mine below my bike picture.)
This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it..

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!!
