Howdy. I am a new Harley owner. Let me clarify...I have an old Harley...its a 1997 ElectraGlide Ultra that I bought in February of this year. Its the first Harley I've ever owned, though I've ridden for many years so it's new to me. Now, if this is the wrong forum for ElectraGlide owners, let me know now. I was told tonight after asking a question on another site that "this is a Road Glide forum. You'll have better luck getting answers elsewhere." If that's the case here, let me know now before I waste any time for you or me. I have zero tolerance for elitist crap. Other than that, I'm a pretty easy going guy. I don't care what anyone else rides. If it has a motor and 2 or 3 wheels, I'm all "welcome to the club". This bike was my retirement gift to myself. I've wanted an ElectraGlide ever since I saw one many years ago, but couldn't afford one until now.
I live in far NW Arkansas, in a little town called Bella Vista. It's on i49 at the Missouri-Arkansas state line. You'll find some of the finest motoring in the world here. Come see what we have to offer. There are 52 state parks, 7 national parks and 2400 lakes in Arkansas. We have roads that will challenge any skill level rider, and some of the most spectacular scenery to be found anywhere. For instance, if you get off the interstates anywhere in this state, you can find lots of this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.inar...routes-486.jpg
This particular pic is the road going to Mt. Nebo State Park, but is only a taste of what you will find. It's like this all over the state.
Have a great time folks, ride safely and I look forward to talking with you.

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!!
