I just realized I never took time to complete my introduction! I am the original owner of a 2009 FLHTCUSE4 (CVO Ultra). Have been on a sabbatical from two wheels for a while. I decided it's time to dust off the bike and get back out there. I am a former instructor for MSF/TXDPS (Motorcycle Safety Foundation/Texas Dept. of Public Safety). I taught my wife to ride, helped her purchase her first motorcycle (Harley, of course) and we have done a decent amount of traveling on two wheels, from Sturgis to Big Bend Natl. Park, Utah to the Great Smokey Mountains. I have great admiration for this group and its members and I have a much deeper appreciation that you allow me to be a participant!
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!!
