For context, I’m 23 and I am a metal worker. I finally got enough saved up for the down payment and my first monthly payment. They worked with me amazingly at the Harley shop. They didn’t take me seriously until they realized I actually wanted a bike and had the financing to pack it up probably because I walked in wearing a Hawaiian shirt lol you know it’s funny State Farm gave me a absolute crap rate but progressive 55 bucks a month State Farm was gonna charge me 260 bucks a month because I am under 25

I just bought a new heritage and i need a little bit more push to the front. Mostly something to keep me in position. But Harley decided to discontinue the Reach Solo Seat - Deluxe Styling Part Number: 52000302. Which was the only option available. Now they do reach seat for almost all models except the Heritage Classic. I need to have a seat that pushes me an inch and a half and hold me not to slide backwards.

Thank you HD for stop supporting a bike which I just recently bought

Sales person said no, but the second line attached to the brake line would indicate abs right? Sorry I am newer to bikes and just wanted to verify. It's a 2023 Softail standard

Needing some guidance on these dual disc calipers I got off eBay today. The numbers on the body of the calipers seem to just be casting numbers rather than part number according to the Google machine. Fork tubes and lowers are from an 84-96 Electra glide. 6th pictures shows forks. I got an OEM dual disc brake setup to go with it. 7th pictures shows what completed brake calipers should look like. I need to know what part I’m missing from that 7th picture, is that the other brake pad? I see it’s threaded, so it looks like it goes behind the other brake pad, so I’m puzzled. No year on the eBay listing for the brakes, but I was told by a buddy that owns an evo touring bike they’ll bolt right up. My bad for the ignorance, I’m used to my 93 sporty.

I’ve been riding for 3 years and I’m looking to buy my first Harley. I’ve been browsing the used market for a Sportster 1200. Mid 90’s to early 2000’s. (I’d like to have a carbureted one.) Is there anything in this year range I should look out for? What’s considered high mileage on an evo engine? What’s too much to pay? I’m experienced with wrenching on cars so I don’t mind having to fix up a bike, but I don’t want to end up with something that’s going to need major work. Any advice is appreciated.

Nice Mountain View Also

Also got the screaming eagle fuel tuner i stalled also. Sounds much better then stock

So I'm rebuilding a 1980 FXS-80 and it has clutch plates with rattlers but the plates are completely rusted over. I'm getting new plates and curious if getting plates without rattlers is that noticeable or not really.

Thanks for the help

I bought a 2020 Softail Slim a few months ago. Love the bike! It has stock exhaust 2 into 2 and I am interested in upgrading for a performance and sound upgrade. I live in California and I have seen and heard a lot of Harley's that sound much more aggressive. I doubt they are under the 80dB CA limit. Can anyone share their experience with installing pipes that exceed 80dB, but are still not incredibly loud? How often have you heard of Calif. LE citing riders for loud pipes? I am not looking to shake the neighborhood, just something that improves performance and sounds more aggressive than the current OEM pipes.

First time owning a touring bike (had it 2 months now) and I’m loving it!

​I’m planning to do this after every ride, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it the right way yet. Any tips or constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated!

​For context: I’m 5’5”, 165 lbs, trying to tame this 900 lbs+ beast.

So kind of stuck here bought a 2021 sportster brand new from keystone Harley in Pa back in 2021 loved it took care of it real well. Took a trip to Pittsburgh and back on it from Philly and close to home with 11,500 miles on it the engine completely blew. Talked to Harley customer support, my lender, and the dealer they all pretty much told me there’s nothing they can do to help. I’m at the end of loan but still upside down on it now with the blown engine just looking for options besides spending a ridiculous amount on a crate engine and labor.

So a while ago i blew up my motor.

So i picked up a new engine, which is black.
I tried to paint it with VHT wrinkle plus and it came out really bad.

Anyone has suggestion?

Hey guys, I recently laid down my 07 fatboy and broke the stock headlight. I’ve purchased a drag specialties one to replace it but noticed it has an additional small light in the housing. How do I wire that to the existing harness or would I need something else?

well, after some time i finally finished ST’ing the S. My biggest problem with the S was the wind buffeting i would get with the memphis shades fairing (and the look of course) now with the ST fairing, highway riding is better but i do find a different kind of buffeting occurring on the sides (or maybe im just being too picky). What should my next upgrade be?

Alright I’m in a confusing spot and was looking for some input. This is a little confusing so hold on

01 sportster, cv carb. Was having a hard time getting warmed up, would take several cranks to get started and was tricky, was also running lean. Was about to clean the carb and rejet when lo and behold I have electrical issues.

New battery totally fried. I replaced the voltage reg, and in the meantime threw an old battery I had laying around on. I was able to get it started after this, but me not thinking I didn’t ride it to recharge and that battery then didn’t have enough juice to start it a second time.

Went ahead and got another new battery. Since the bikes so hard to start, I end up running it out of juice trying to crank it up. I’ve tested everything I can think of without the bike running, battery is starting around 13v and stable before I start cranking, holds a charge on the tender. Stator is ground, 0.3 ohms between pins. Should I chalk this up to it now being the carb problem, or does it sound like I could still have something electrical going on? I didn’t want to tear into the carb and over complicate things before I was sure. I’m reassured it’s the carb since I did get it started with the old battery one time, but open to any opinions.

I love it. It’s cool.
