New Oregon Flh Shovelhead Enthusiast
Hello I am a newbie to your forum .
I live in the Pacific NW. We just got hit with our first Pineapple Express rain event.
Found ?1980 Flh Electra Glide Classic and you can guess who is the wrench as old iron wants a little love from time to time.
Hello to all. Ride safe enjoy the ride.
Ride wrench repeat. I posted a tank rubbing issue in Classics Shovelhead if anyone can help.

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.
