Default Howdy Folks!
Well, the good news is I just inherited a 2000 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider from my Dad. The bad news is that I inherited it because he was killed on it. We never really got along that well, and bikes were one of the few things we had in common. Dad had me on bikes before I could walk, and I started driving bikes when I was 14 (I'm now 29). So as you can imagine, I really want to get this bike back on the road as soon as possible. I've done some wrenching here and there, but I'm certainly no pro. I've already started the repair work, and it seems that most of the damage is cosmetic. It still runs and it sounds great. I've owned several bikes but this is my first Harley. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry about your Dad - that may make riding the scoot he was killed on difficult.
