newbie alert

howdy, new to the forum-looks like a great bunch of folks! been a rider all my life but been on 4 wheels for a while-just picked up a 97 sporty custom bone stock w 4k miles-clean as a whistle thought i'd sign up to get some info from
all the masters here i'll prolly be in the sporty forum mostly to get some tips on mods-last sportster i had was 76 anniversery-alot's changed since then- had a few rice bikes in between but i'm back home now my 4 wheeler is a 2001 T/A
ws6 with 365rwhp - so now i can sink $ into 2 toys thanks in advance for being gentle with the newb

James will become famous soon enough
Welcome to the forum. Most of the people are normal here. I'm not.

If that bike is bone stock you will want to pay the Harley Tax so it's not running so lean.

What is the Harley Tax?

got it home

got the bike home sunday(woo hoo) - spent the last couple days cleaning and checking it over already got a couple of questions

what is the most popular rear tire-it has 4800 miles on it and is showing its wear pretty good - its a dunlop and looks awful worn for 5k-the front is good also got any links for mags wheels for the front-i don't think i wanna keep the spoke wheel-thanks guys/girls i tried a search but this forum prolly knows best:p
