Hello from the overly humid and hot state of Texas. I'm dingle, been dingle most of my life (berry is my last name, you can figure out the rest). My wife forced me to get a bike so I chose a 2013 Ultra Limited 110th year anniversary packin a run of the mill 103" with a Timken lefty topped with some squawkin seagul 110+ heads and matching squawkin seagul 10.5:1 pistons, stock 50mm t-body breathing through a DK customs 1.5" velocity stack (the squawkin seagul 58mm is on the shelf for when its needed), Jackpot 2/1/2 headpipe with fullsize crossover sending the hot vapors through a set of super cheap baffled fishtails (don't judge my fishtails, its not nice), fueling OE+ cam plate to support a set of wood TW-777 bump sticks lifting a set of gatorman lifters that move S&S adjustable pushrods, darkhorse man-o-war compensator and its tuned using a dynojet power vision. In the dash, theres a fancy dancy Kenwood KMM-X704 head unit pushing Polk DB+ 6.5's in the fairing and tour pack (my tour pack is solid mounted. Weird, isnt it?). On the human side of my clutch perch, I have a custom, one off, garage door opener button designed and fab'd by yours truly.
I worked at an independent HD repair shop before a divorce that ultimately talked me into moving out of state. Now, I just use my cheap ole harbor freight lift to tinker from time to time. I try to use what I know as a trade or to teach. Not much into doing it for money these days. Anywho, I'll help where I can and learn where I can. Been a long time stalker of the pages. Quite a good bit of information being shared. Dunno if the picture will work properly but if it does, that's Penny (for your thoughts)
Welcome from Houston!
I hear ya on the hot and humid, but we get to ride year-round so it's a trade-off. Awesome scoot there, and sounds like you have a lot knowledge and experience to contribute.
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!!
