I sold my sport bike and..... 1 Year ago
I would like to say Thank You for this fantastic forum. I recently sold my sport bike and found myself purchasing a custom Road Star. I have found so much useful information on the clinic so again thank you. Any advice to a long time biker, first time cruiser?

Daz from Texas. Best advice I can give is if it is 03 or older then look into seeing if the tranny recall has been done. Contact a dealer and give them the vin # and they can tell you. Other than that just ride and ideas will overwhelm you soon.
