Smile Hello from Milwaukee (Springer)

Hey all, completly missed the proper area to introduce myself prior to making my first post. Im new to the world of harleys, this being my second one only, and the only one that needs some TLC. I recently picked up my fathers old 93' Springer Softail that i remember him having while growing up, he sold it when I was ten and have never forgot about it. Well here 16 years later through the power of the internet and the DMV i tracked the guy who bought it down, made an offer, long story short he needed money and i have a childhood memory back. Im sure people will be able to make great suggestions and help me out alot. So who has answers for a short guy who wants apes....? But most importantly hello all!
