Default Introduction

Good evening,

thanks for looking.

My name is Gabe, I recently purchased a 99 Dyna Wide Glide from a buddy of mine with just over 14k on the odometer.

She's had a bunch done yo the engine, but hasn't been ran a lot for a few years. That's changed lately.

I'm a vet, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait and Somalia. Colorado native living in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Upgrades will be coming, nothing crazy. Would like a little better ride, and looking for as much reliability as I can muster out of a Harley.

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia, USA!

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 others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.

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 that others see at the bottom.

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.


​​
Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

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!!
