I am new but not new to the site. I originally signed on back in 2011. I had a VRod Muscle that I absolutely loved. Rode it for a while and then life got in the way. A few years ago, I finally got back to a bike and bought myself a 2012 Wide Glide. Loved that bike too. lol. Long story short, sold it for the opportunity to buy a 2017 Low Rider S with a 117 in it. I bought it over this past winter and still haven't been able to ride it anymore than around the block but am impatiently waiting for spring. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and I look forward to being active on the forum. Take care out there.
Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with so others see at the bottom of all your post. This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.
And a 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.
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!!
