Hello there!
Hi!
My name is Roman, i´m from Austria, 42 years old and infected with the HD-virus since i was a kid.
My first Harley was a brand new ´08 FLHX that i got as a birthday present from myself (i saved everything i had for many years for it). With a bleeding heart - as this bike was so reliable for more than 70.000 Kilometers, i´ve sold it last summer and bought a ´15 FLTRXS.
I was so proud of my Shark, but fun didn´t last over the summer, i had an accident on my second ride. As a result of the short but intense affair with the tarmac i had a more intense affairs with the operating room and couldn´t walk for more than two months. My shark did not well with the cold-working on it and needs a lot of repair.
That´s why i´m here now
I´m looking for replacement parts and i´m also looking for some tech-tips as i want to add some gadgets like the central lock from the CVOs to my not-so-CVO Road Glide.
Looking forward to a lot of interesting topics and maybe some good parts
Stay free, ride safe, keep the tires down and prevent any meetings with the race management units

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!!
