Greetings
Hello and a thank you to HDF for existing. My first Road King was a 2001 TC88, followed by a 16-year nightmare where my now ex-wife forbid me from owning a motorcycle. Left that horrible imprisoned and bought a ‘16 RK 103, a ‘20 SGS, and a ‘21 RKS. May soon buy a ‘21 Revival and, Lord willing, a ‘23 Highway King in orange. I have loved motorcycles since my many lunch periods in 1st grade staring at my first Evil Knievel lunchbox as I at my sandwich. I wish I still had that piece of tin.
Also have a ‘21 Bonnie T120 and a ‘21 RE GT650 Continental.
Enjoy your lives, friends! Don’t let anything stop 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.
