Hello all. I'm in Southern VA. Have a small stable of bikes. 72 FXE, 02 FXSTS, 14 RK and a go fast BMW. (Told my wife. I don't cheat on you. I don't drink - much - so I'm buying bikes and building a workshop in the farm...) Just relocated from Northern VA where cars aim for you on purpose and now loving riding in Charlottesville. If there are any old iron rider in the area let me know

my 72. Started as an FX and the previous owner turned it into a sort of FLH. I went a different direction

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.

[QUOTE=Spartanden;21394327]Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
Thanks Spartanden. I've got a few manuals for my shovel but that's a great idea to unbound it - if that's a word - and put it in a 3 ring binder. I am betting its much easier to use in the shop.
