Default Helloooooo from the UK

My turn for an introduction.
People know me as Murfie or Smurf. Been riding on and off since i was 14 now .. well just old...
I come from the sports bike world and still own a ZX 10RR Winter edition but now use than mainly on track days and less on the road.
Saw and fell in love with the FAT BOB and when i saw the "TAGGED" edition had to have one.
Love the bike and since having it have relocated the number plate, fitted the quick release kit and sissy bar and just installed the V& H Short Shots and FP3.
What a machine.

Welcome from North Beach, FL., 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!!
