FNG - Yep new member
I guess I am the FNG. Hoping to get some tips and pointers and any help while contributing what I can.
I am in Charlotte, NC and own a 2016 Road Glide Ultra. Now to wait 30 days and 5 posts before I start posting in the "Want to Buy" section.
Thank you and I hope health and happiness prevail during this Christmas season!!

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!!

I've had the bike since October and have already done quite a bit too it. I also had to replace the coolant pump.
Not my first motorcycle so I have some pretty good habits that satisfy my OCD behaviors.
I also promise not to ask about oil.
Thanks again!!
