Just joined the ranks of HD owners. Bought a 2018 Slim. Out of over 80 bikes I've owned through the years this is my second cruiser (owned the first for 21 days lol). Come from a dirt/ADV and sport bike background. Traded my MG V85TT in on the Slim. Still own my Triumph Speed Triple and Royal Enfield Continental GT cafe racer. Jacked my knee up bad enough, due to slipping on ice of all things, that I needed to move to a bike with forward controls. Definitely feels odd still lol.
Hope to meet up out on the road, Peace!

Welcome Eric, to the HDFORUM.
I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here.
Only as a suggestion, by me as a USER, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.
The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.
Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.
Of course, you can add it to any thread with a question.
You can also add any other details you choose and a favorite picture to the signature lines.
If you like, you can also add another favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your posts as a postage stamp.

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.
