First Harley
After riding for 30 of my 36 years on Japanese motorcycles I bought my first Harley Davidson last night. It's a 2007 Low Rider and I am very excited about owning it. I've been out of the saddle for about 3 years, but decided to get back on the road in a big way.
I was always one of those guys who wanted a hog but couldn't justify the additional expense. This time it was a no brainer, though.
I've been lurking around this forum for months.
I think i've been sufficiently warned about the 1% guys, patches and fingerless gloves. I saw the thread about assless chaps but haven't yet explored it... not my thing.
anyway, i'd love any insight into my 07 lowrider.
i picked it up from a used dealer with 10K on it.
Put new tires on it today and plan to change all the fluids and consumables.
Anything I should be looking for?
thanks and good forum.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome from NE Oregon! There is a Low Rider in our stable also....you will enjoy that bike. I would probably want to know if there were any performance upgrades on the bike...Stage I upgrade comes to mind (mufflers, air filter, and ECM download). Otherwise, I agree with those that have recommended a visit to the Dyna and tech forums!!

Lots of Newbes can now afford a Harley and with so many for sale it easier than ever to be a Harley owner....
