Hi All

Just bought my first Harley (Sportster XLH 1200) 1995 pearl white special HD Canada edition (pics to follow). It has 2 up touring seat, saddlebags and windshield (detachable). I live in the coldest city in North America (I know, why did I buy a bike) and can't wait to get on the road (3 months yet?). I haven't ridden a bike consistently for over 35 years (been awhile eh!). Have many questions but I guess I have to find the right forum to ask (e.g., have stock engine and want to upgrade - recommdations).

Great to find this group!

Gordo

Welcome from Alberta!

I grew up in St. Boniface and know that Winterpeg is not that cold!

But the mosquitoes that are as big as Robins are annoying.....

You will find all the answers to your questions on the Forum.

Normal sequence of upgrades appear to be A/C, Exhaust, Cams and don't forget the suspension!
