First time leaving a message. Been on once or twice before. A friend said this would be a good place for help and information about maintanance and parts. Looking forward to the interesting people I'll meet here.

Oh ya. Almost forgot. 1975 Ironhead Sportster. First bike. Always wanted a Harley. Thought about buying a different brand, but couldn't bring myself to it.
The bike's old, but in pretty good shape. Runs like a champ!! I love the older bikes.
