Hello and thanks for the ad.
Just picked up my first Harley, a 2007 Electra-Glide Ultra Classic. This is a very new experience for me, my Harley is not a sport bike, dirt bike or ADV bike... It was an interesting ride home from the sellers house
How can anything shake like that at idle and be so smooth when riding? this weekend will be oil, general maint and a good wash/wax.
If anyone has any tips, I'm all ears

Welcome Lane.
​​​​
Hope you enjoy your ride here.


Only as a suggestion, create a signature
line for your
bike, year, model, and all the
code letters.

You can add that bike photo to the signature too.
