Default Greetings from Dead Moanes..er Des Moines

Been a Limey rider most of my life. But my Brother pick up a old 75 sporty so I thought let's wrench American.Lol.
Getting a lot of good info on all the things I don't know..But I'm a quick study.
Got a '75 XLH with a S&S shorty on it and Screaming Eagle exhaust.
Looks like a good place to land so here I am.
You can call me Randy or Max
