Default Harley Noob

Hey everyone, Just purchased my 1st Harley yesterday.

2002 Sportster 883R with 10K on the clock
- Blacked out engine
- 2-into-1 exhaust
- Other then that its stock (for now)

I'm coming from a few years of riding a 73' CB 350
as well as a rebuilt 83' Yamaha xs650.

I needed something I could ride and not have to worry about all the issues that come with vintage bikes (as much as I love them I needed a daily rider)

I'm sure I'll be posting as I start modifying and tinkering..
