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! ______________

Welcome from Sydney Australia. You cannot go wrong with either a Road King, Street Glide or Ultra. Harley bought out an upgraded frame in 2009 (for the tourers) so look for a low / reasonable mileage twin cam. If it has had regular oil changes / services then you are on the right track.
