New here to Harleys
Hello,
I'm Dave, new to Harleys. I'll be mostly here for technical advice.
I'm from BC Canada. I've beer riding for 7 years. Just picked up a 2008 electraglide witha bunch of upgrades for a suspiciously low price.
hopefully I can learn a lot here and maybe be of some use to others.
Thanks,
Dave.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. 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.
