22 Road King Special
Hello every one, Im new to this Forum, Nice to be in here.
I subscribed because - You Guessed it, I own a Road King. A 22 Special to be exact! and I am dying to customize it. So far I had only done very little things to it. Got a Saddlemen Road Sofa on it, Bought the Wind Splitter Wind Screen with the bike. Have a Back Rest for the Wife, and also got a Hog Works Luggage Rack when the time comes when I need it. And the other major thing I put on it, was changed out the headlight for a Baja Designs LP6 in amber - Holy Sshit is that bright! I also put on some S2 lights down by the floor boards, which I dont like. They are bright, but the dealership that put them on was not listening to my directions, and I think that Im going to take them off. I have a different Idea for extra lights. Other Than That, miner Cosmetics done to it. I am interested in getting it put up to a Stage 2, and changing out the bars and grips. So I joined this site, thinking that some of you can help me with solutions to my obsticles im coming across. So In advance - Thank You, and Nice to meet 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. 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.
