Default My First Harley in Missouri
just bought my first HD.... 87 FLHTC metalic blue and silver. I love the way the bike looks and rides, but the way it runs needs a little more work. Gotta get rid of this thing they put in the place of a carburetor! this will be on the top of my list for things to do to the bike. My last bike before this was a Honda VTX 1800C. I liked it ok, but it just wasn't a Harley. Looking forward to receiving some helpful advice from all the knowledgeable folks on here about how I can improve the performance of my new (to me) ride. I have been working on metrics (bikes and quads) for a while now and know my way around a toolbox so hopefully my experience will come in handy for fixin up the 'ol electra glide.
Well, if you have any suggestions or just wanna chat, shoot me a message! Thanks!
