Default New Sportster

Picked up a Sportster yesterday from a local shop. 03 1200c with 5k on it. Lots of chrome. Anything I should do right off the bat or am I good to go for a while maintenance wise?

Thanks

According to the dealer the next scheduled maintenance was done. Sounds like I'm good then. Just wanted to make sure if there was anything that I should check that is notorious with this bike.

Thanks Much!

Yes...there is something you should do. You need to pick that trash up out of the road. D**n Harley riders...trashin' up the neighborhood... Enjoy the bike, it looks good.

LOL, that is my saddle bag mod. Just some yard waste I moved out when I ran the sprinklers. Neighbor has a busa and around the corner is a ninja so I fit right in...

03 is a good year for the anni customs. Those are some of my favorite bikes! Enjoy it, the tank on those things is beautiful.
