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!!
That's good advice on getting the manual for your particular year model of HD. I hae made it a practice to always do that. My latest bike is a 2010 FXDWG. IJust prior to that Ihad a 2011 FXDB. I have all three 2011 manuals that I bought when I got the FXDB. The only changes betwen 2010 and 2011 in the Dynas were the colors so all of the part numbers are still good. I have the service parts and electrical manuals so I'm set. .
Here is a picture of my new to me 2010 FXDWG. I always liked this model.
It has Vance and Hines exhaust and some high bars. I will have to change the bars to something llower, though. I like Fatboy bars. The rest of the bike will stay as is. It runs great! The bike came with new tires and tubes so that was a plus. It's a nice design.
