Default Newbie here!!
New to the forum, not new to bikes, all rice burners till now. Just got a 1976 XLH Sportster Bicentennial Edition. Finished replacing all controls, wiring, and bled front brake. Everything working great there now. Next project is the starter. It doesn't want to engage long enough to start the beast. Will do some searches for advice. Looks like a great forum, looking forward to spending lots of time here. Ride SAFE!!!
