Greetings from the recently snow-free Spokompton
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SpokomptonCurrently waiting for my first HD to ship - a stock FXR2 in red - reading up on Evos in general and FXRs in particular, in the meantime. Got the Clymer book, found the viewable owner's manual on the HD site, and for completeness ordered an original hardcopy FXR2 parts catalog from Elvis FXR.
Thinking ahead to maintenance, reading up on Evo vs TC oil filter specs controversy - deprecation of old Evo filters by HD - thinking to run Bosch 3330. (

Learned that engine oil level is checked on the sidestand on the FXR - an arrangement I have not thus far encountered in the moto world.
That aside, been riding not quite 30 years, commuting, racing, dirt/trials, ADV. IBA member. Never owned a cruiser; never tried an FXR specifically. I really hope I can make it work as far as seating position, as the idea of keeping an Evo forever and passing it on to my kid (who only rides dirt for now) is quite appealing.
I'd like to mount a taller sissy bar perhaps with luggage rack, and run a sissy bar duffel-like bag. Panniers of some sort would be good. LeatherPro perhaps? Much to learn...
