New from the cold north...
Hey,
New guy checking in. A tad prematurely, perhaps, as I have technically not added the XL to my garage. But it is on the way and I thought it would be a good idea to get a few expert opinions to help me choose which model to go with (it's down to two).
Although new to the XL, I have many years of experience with motercycles and hope that I can add something of vulue to the forum, in the future.

This is THE BEST Sportster Resource!
Take a minute and please put at least your state/country in the LOCATION FIELD of your profile so we can better help you when you need it - Your climate, temps & altitude can make a difference to suggested fixes... ( the STATE FIELD does not show on posts so you need to use the LOCATION FIELD)...
CLICK HERE - then scroll down to 'Additional Information' and look for the field labeled 'LOCATION' - put your information in there - It will then show on each post you make... Look for this:
Post a PICTURE of your ride - whether building, modding or totally stock... Host the image on a photo website (but not photobucket.com), get the link with the "[IMG][/IMG] tags" included & paste that directly into your posting (If you don't have the "[IMG][/IMG] tags" included, then use the Image Insert icon  along with the web address of the image)...
There are various sections to the XLForum - You can pick a section that is related to your problem/info, open that section and read the sticky threads on the first page - Then post your comment in an existing thread or create a new one to get information for your specific question... For new threads, make the title specific to your problem or info...
This is the index of sections: http://xlforum.net/forums/index.php
Be sure to read some/many of the FAQ/HowTo threads (including how-to post pictures) here:
http://xlforum.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16
The XLForum Sportsterpedia has a lot of technical info to review:

Norse, welcome to the forum family from a swamp in Michigan.
Which two have you narrowed it down to?
