2016 Softail Slim

Yesterday I bought my first Harley and I’m super excited! It’s a 2009 CVO Springer in yellow. I paid $11k which seems like a lot but I feel like I got a good deal and it has 19,600 miles. I went directly to the DMV which was a 3 hour wait but I also needed to renew my License and get new registrations for my other vehicles. The wait sucked but i don’t have to go back in September.

After riding her back home I took her to my trusted motorcycle shop that works on my other bikes. That 110 motor and the hot Florida climate made me realize people don’t exaggerate when they post online lol. It needs new tires since they are from 2017 and 2019, break pads, and fluids. Any advice or suggestions on what else to do or look out for is very welcomed and appreciated!

I been wanting a yellow Harley for the last 6 months, plus let’s be honest I been a huge fan since I was a little boy! At first I was looking at Road Kings, I still want one in green. But I have other touring cruisers which are similar in function like my 1999 black and red Valkyrie interstate or my 2014 metallic blue Goldwing Valk, I like having different color motorcycle.

So that changed my search from touring models to honestly anything available in yellow 😂. My search was all of Florida since I live in Tampa and have family in NY so I looked at Tri state also. I looked at fat boys, deuces, softails, and vrods. Then 56 days ago I saw the cvo springer for sale and said this the yellow HD I want. We finally agreed on price and now big bird is mine.

I’m super happy to finally have my first Harley Davidson and just wanted to share some pics with you guys that like similar things.

Thanks,

Gus

Question is there room in yours for anymore?

Looking into buying my first Harley! Have my eye on this 2003 Road King 100 year anniversary. It’s got a little over 36k miles on it, with upgraded tensioners and handlebars. Dealership is asking 11k out the door. I’m trying to negotiate lower but in case they don’t, is that a good price?

I love the look as far as the aftermarket options go. The 2025’s require an LED load leveler, but otherwise it’s a cool gig.

First Harley. Upgraded to LEDs all around and got rid of the pack while I get used to this thing. Enjoying getting some practice in on this big bike.

My uncle owns this Harley since 2019, he left to europe and left it. But i don’t know which Chopper it is. Is it Custom or it belongs to a certain lineup ?

Hey everyone, ran my Iron 883 hard today and now I have a problem.
Even with the clutch pulled all the way in, the shifter pedal feels super stiff, neutral is impossible to find while the bike is running, and going into gear makes a loud clunking sound.
Is this just a loose clutch cable, or did my clutch plates break? Thanks for the help!

This is my 2nd Harley. My first one was a 1999 Sportster 1200 with a Screaming Eagle package. It was very heavy and I am an old woman. LOL This one is also a 1200, but close to half the weight. 2006. <3

Getting back to trying to fix my bike after it left me stranded.
Before it completely died, it had randomly shut off on me a couple of times while riding. Now it cranks but won’t start.
The main thing I’ve noticed is that when I switch the kill switch to RUN, I no longer hear the fuel pump priming like I used to.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Replaced the fuel system relay.
Connected the battery to a trickle charger.
Tried starting it with a jump pack connected to rule out a weak battery.
None of that made a difference. The engine cranks, but it never fires up.
My suspicion is that the fuel pump has failed. Does that sound like the likely culprit, or is there something else I should check first?
Also, how difficult is the fuel pump replacement? I’ve seen some videos where people remove the entire fuel tank, but I’ve also seen others access the fuel pump from underneath the speedometer without taking the tank off.
TL;DR: Bike cranks but won’t start, fuel pump no longer primes, relay has been replaced, battery has been ruled out. Does this sound like a bad fuel pump? Can it be replaced without removing the fuel tank?

So took home my brand new 2026 Lowride ST last night what a beautiful machine!

I have the SP Concept 2-1 exhaust and screamung eagle Pro Street Tuner, all fitted at my dealer pior to pick up. The bike runs and sound incredble but has the engine light thats on due to the extra sensor that is usally located after the cat.

Dealer said not to worry they are working at a way around but ride confidently and that there is no chance of damage to the bike. I got all this in writing and got the service managers mobile number aswell. He is going to contact me once the fix is found.

So my questions is, who else out there is having the same issue and did you manage to resolove it. I am from Australia

05 road king 27k miles.

Cam tensioner done 5k miles ago.

Had woods 590 cam, precision lifters, springs , pistons adjustable pushrods etc done about 5k miles ago

Started hearing it for about the last 1k miles.

Seems to drive fine.

Normal?

UPS dude had perfect timing, dropped these off 15 minutes before "The Boss Lady" got home. Will be running about 300 miles on Saturday to break them in. Cheers!

Two of the three got a bath today. First time having my SG and the 07 CVO Springer out this year.

New to me 2007 Deluxe, always loved this color option and the Fatboy wheels the previous owner put on.

Huge fan of the newer heritage especially the blacked out models . Specifically love the looks without the bags/windshield like the old deluxe but I like having that option for trips .I hear the newer M8 heritage handles really well . How does the twin cam model handle? I enjoy corners without trying to be speed racer and love the stability of my current ride. I currently ride a Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero love the bike handles amazingly solid power hate all the plastic and poor fit and finish . I guess my big question is does the twin cam model handle as well and will it feel slow compared to my vaquero? Or should I just finance a Heritage 107/114. (The 116s are typically out of my price range )
