2) Enjoy

And the Victory P&A book has only 3 pages.

With words, pictures, words and pictures or just blank pages?

Mostly pics but some words. :) And it's almost 45 pages long.

Of course, those 45 pages have to cover the entire Victory lineup.

Dave,

Yes, it didn't take much to put a dent on the owners manual. Thanks for that and keep the hints coming, for example:

-) is the speedometer accurate?
-) is there a good website for Electra specific info? (Like Gadget's Nomad website)
-) how do you keep the ladies away from your bike?

Thanks in advance!

Here ya go Elvis
My speedo and odometer are very close.
There are a few good forums that address all breeds of HD
You don't.

With the factory Dunlop 407 my speedometer matched almost exactly with my GPS. When I replaced the rear with a Dunlop American Elite my speedometer reads 72 while the GPS is at 70.

My speedometer is off by about 2-3% on a graduated scale... to where is appears I am going faster than I am.

I have had my speed checked with the local police radar to verify it. (connections with the police locally, so it helped).

Sites to help are endless...

Of course the women flock to the Harleys. They're the only bikes left in the parking lot. The rest aren't broken down and are out riding!

(j/k, guys...I couldn't resist)
