Hello all! New user from AL. Just got a new (to me) bike recently and as with all other things, felt the need to join the forum for information, in the event I need it. I have a 2018 HD Iron 883 in matte black. The owner had the fluids changed and front tire replaced before selling it to me. When I got it, I did the classic sportster mirror flip, spark plugs, clutch adjustment, and replaced the foot pegs. New to the HD family so any insider tips or tricks, things to look out for, would be very much appreciated! Glad to be a part of the family!

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia, USA! 
Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!
Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.
And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.
This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.
Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________
