Hi H-D fans. I'm hoping for at least a few comments on my new to me bike. I bought a 2000 883 Sportster with 18K on the speedo. I'm the third owner. The bike has been "altered" slightly. SE pipes, high flow air filter, fat bob tank, wire spoked wheels (they did come with cast or forged spoked, didn't they?), solo seat, whitewall tires of 06 vintage. The engine is stock, runs well, leaks not a drop so this is likely true. My question: What would you do to assure a safe ride. I will change the fluids, new plugs and wires, new tires (my hide is too valuable to leave on the highway), check the belt and that's about the end of my capabilities at present. I'm learning daily from this fine website but have lots to learn yet so anything else will be done at a dealership. Suggestions please, help the novice stay right side up. Thanking you in advance for any comments.

PS I will have in hand an owners and service manual soon, just got the bike yesterday and haven't had time to order yet.
