Default Thank you.

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.

I did that with my truck. Mostly I’ve just got a big box full of all the stuff I’ve removed or swapped. I’ve decided to keep it, have a guy crack it open and bulletproof it. Add a little torque but mostly address the common problems ahead of time. Maybe even do the crank to prevent runout. Too much added already to start over so all in.

The guy just copies and pastes that into every intro assuming people bought their harley 10 minutes ago. He is from below the bridge.
