Welcome Steve.

I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here with us on the HDFORUM.

Only as a suggestion, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.

The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.

Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question, or to someone asking a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.

You can also add a favorite picture to the signature line.

@imoo6170

The @ to the USER IMOO6170 is flaging (poking) a Community team member.

Being the Welcome Area this area is not the best area for questions.
​​
Probably this area would be better.

☆ I am not sure? Staring at my Harley.

If the Community team imoo6170 moves this thread, make another new post here in the Welcome Area to say hello.

Or you can just make another new post yourself but title it slightly different.

I'm not seeing your signature line or a place for me to create my own signature line. Any pointers?

Someone told me once that if you don't turn back and look at your bike when walking away you bought the wrong bike.
Welcome

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.

Sure.. my signature line on my bike 04 Softail Deuce 88TCb FXSTDI in first picture..


Hit your user name and then first button. User control. Second picture. Then on left edit signature. Third picture attachment.

PM me if it doesn't work. On a phone, it puts invisible spaces that you need to back up any spaces you see below to save.

Remember, anything I say is a suggestion like I said above. Sorry some USERs don't understand that.
