Cheers from BC, Canada
Hello everyone! I purchased a used 2014 Road King earlier this year and have enjoyed riding it this summer very much. I've ridden many bikes but this is my first HD. Bought it so that my wife and I can go on weekend trips in comfort and can carry everything we need (bike has a matching tour pack not pictured). Joined this forum as I want to do some upgrades this winter...LED lighting upgrade to all lights, new bars more appropriate for my size, new windshield. Looking forward to getting lots of ideas and help on this forum.

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.
