Default Mike here from the Heart of Dixie

Mike here from the Heart of Dixie. Happy Fall Yall! New owner of a 1980 FXE. Trying to learn everything maintenance-wise about the bike so I may ask some dumbass questions. Fell free to tell me so. My current question is about the tranny oil level and I will post it in the appropriate section when I finish here. Here are a couple of pictrures of the old girl. Trying to get the money together to get the tins repainted but she looks okay for now. Still working out the bugs.
