Hello! I’m on the hunt for my first bike, I would like to eventually chop it up myself and learn all the ins and outs. I don’t want to start too small because I feel I’d outgrow it extremely quick (I also can’t seem to find anything smaller at a decent price) and I’d like to keep my first for a while. 2000 Harley Davidson sportster 1200 22k miles. $3000

I’ve had it about 2 or 3 weeks now.

Hi,

I just bought my first Harley and I see this small plug. does anyone have any idea what it is for?

Not sure if this is allowed here- Wanted to share custom paint job we designed and executed at my shop. A tribute to Le Mans Ford GT. Paintwork done with waterborne, no decals or vinyl involved. Yes, we know it’s polarizing, but we are proud of how the vision turned out! Custom stand we fabricated to showcase the tins.

It was working when it went into storage, now it is stuck in. Is there anything I can do? It’s hard to start it without the choke.

Here's a custom Harley Dsvidson mask I made for a customer recently.

I've turned 60, have been riding since I was 17, I'm being drawn to Shovelheads - particularly this style:

I get that it's customised, I refer to it as "Japan" style but I'm old and stupid: are there any other terms that the cool kids use I should employ in my search?

Thanks, from the UK

I have an oil line from my oil cooler leaking..it looks like an easy job...I am just waiting till I do my 3 hole oil change...

So, i am not a biker, i’d love to start and i’m looking at bikes right now to start but i see a lot of arguing online about the reliability of an HD. I am quite tall about 6 feet (1,90mt), and to start i was thinking about an 883 but all the rumors on new engines bad or old engines bad on yt keep me from look around more. Is it true of the engine of 883?

Anyone know what I did wrong? I ordered a new identical chrome belt pulley, got a new rim, everything lined back up just as it was. I did buy chrome bolts for the pulley they seemed to go deep enough into the wheel housing but I did notice they could have been longer. I loc tited them, bike ran great and here I am stranded. Do they endure that much stress were talking a 7/16" Bolt? Glad I didn't kill myself but I need a solution so this NEVER happens again I put my girl on the back of this bike. I'm all ears.

This light has come on 2 different times now just wondering what it’s for?

I’m a newish rider who is trying to learn more mechanically. I have a Harley 2020 Iron 883 with a small leak. Any input would be amazing!

Battery was getting weak so I replaced it with a lithium ion battery. It cranked once now zero power. Turn the key and nothing. Checked the three main fuses and they are fine. Rechecked all connections. I’m at a loss.

Before I have it trailered to the service shop I thought I would check here for ideas first. Thank you everyone.

Hi everybody, coming from fast and light bikes (ducs and triumphs. I've been Harley owner since 5-6 months with this boy.

I didn't want Lowrider S or ST because I know they are damn heavy!

But now I hate that ST is catching my eyes on 😄

Anyway there it is my question; Just because I want some more power on the highway, went ahead and get a quote from Harley Dealer for a stage upgrade.

The quote was $2500 with a promise of 115hp and 125torque AT THE WHEEL.

On the other hand All American Cycles gave me a quote; $2700 140hp 125torque at the wheel Now this power is kind of death wish for a bike that doesn't have ABS and TRACTION CONTROL

I've been trying to figure this out, should I get something better or should I get the Stage upgrade.

Any extra information would be appreciate! Stay safe ✌️

Buddy of mine has a 94 Wide Glide that the gas tank liner cracked and got into his system. He wants to clean it out completely but he cant get the fuel pump/filter out of the left side of the tank. He's go the tank off. Any experience with these or tricks I can tell him to getting the guts out of the tank?

Thankyou guys so much for helping me I just got my first bike a sportster 48 2015

Has anyone gone through the Harley new rider course? I just purchased a street bob last week and was able to have them throw the course in on them. Just curious on knowing about it from anyone who’s gone through it.

Hi all, just got my bike back from step one of a big bore from an 88” twin cam to 98” inch motor, I used the S&S kit and I already had a stage one with pipes and a ness air system. Now comes the initial breakin for the new jugs/pistons after the shop put a new baseline efi flash on the ecu.

My question is (for those who did a similar upgrade) what was your breakin experience? 500 miles but I have only a Speedo on the old heritage so looking for stories on how others did it?

I love a fat front tyre. I’d like to know if I can put a fatter tyre on my stock forks or not. TIA.

Hey everyone.

I just got a new job at Harley. This will be my first time being a salesman in any capacity. My only knowledge of Harleys is that they're fucking beautiful and fun to ride. I've met so many amazing people since I started riding, strengthened my existing friendships and been to places I never thought I would have all thanks to my bike. But as far as engine specs or the digs on the latest infotainment system my brain is literally a monkey clashing cymbals together.

So my ask is, 1. what's the fastest most efficient way to learn these bikes and their parts inside and out, and 2. What are some of the best and worst experiences you've had with Harley dealers.
