New member/owner question

Awaiting delivery of my FLHRSI and need to know what to purchase first besides the obvious safety items and customizing options. Things like battery charger, K&N style filters....I would much rather start dressing her up but don't want to be without the necessitys.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Welcome to the forum David, I think the first place to start is a battery tender. After that you could do a stage 1 air cleaner and some mufflers like the SE II give you a nice sound. You'll need a download for these items or a TFI fuel enrichment unit instead. This will give you the adjustability instead of a canned map from the dealer. http://www.techlusion.com/

I would recommend a factory manual as your first "accessory". Post pics of your ride when you can.

I have to agree with Mac, get the service manual first and start doing your own wrenching. I'm not big on pipes and hot rods, so I can't help you much there. If you live where you can ride year round, you should not need a battery tender. But if you have to store the bike in the wintertime, then it's a good idea. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the forums from the Arizona Highlands. Don't know about a battery charger you living in Cave Creek, AZ and all. If you'll be driving the scoot regularly it will not be necessary..., except maybe for your cage

. The usual first upgrades are: SE Stage 1 air filter or K&N air cleaner, remap, and SE II slipons or equvalent from V&H or Rinehart or Ride shack or Super Trap or ...
