intro
Back on the forum again, been spying out a few tech issues.
Been riding long time, since 7/8 years old on the farm bikes, honda 90 trail, dkw boondocker and many others since then.
Currently in the garage a heavily moded, lowered stretched & raked 88 sportster, an 86 xl1100 project to be started. Watch a few you tube channels, shade tree, wheels Thru Time, fortnine, B& B ,lots of others to.
Ride most days, regardless of weather. Best investment recently, 7.4v heated gloves, good for old white numb fingers, no longer need 2 cups of coffee and exhaust pipes to get feeling back.

Welcome, Mike.
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.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. 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.
