Well, hardly having any tools can be corrected.. Make a list & go for a ride, stop at pawn shops,, pull out your list, note what they have & the prices,, go to the shops that have what ya need at the lowest prices. If ya need it & cant find it,, hit up Harbor Freight, theres another store that sells El Cheapo.,. but I cant think of the name off hand.. Norther Sumpineruther,,
Spend some time lookin at pics of the bikes these guys ride. Serowbot & I wanna say Old Feller & theres another who has a pretty screamin Savage ( screamin as Savages go). Bobbers are cool lookin, but fenders exist for a reason,, & you can have a trim lookin bike, with fenders,, No way would I ride w/o them,, Wanting performance? The quickest, easiest way is make the bike lighter. Want it looking trimmer? A really simple step that does both is ditch that chrome trash can of a muffler & stick a Dyna on it,, Thats a real good first step for a beginner mechanic & ya get a snappier lookin bik AND better performance AND it sounds sexier,, Its not a win win, its win squared, or cubed, or something big like that.,. Just go slow, step by step,, read, ask questions, add to your tool collection, get a maintenance manual or download one, How many miles on yours? If its gettin close to 15,000 miles & you dont know if its had a cam chain put on,, its time to look at it. Its an 05,, petcock is gettin old,, if its a stocker, its time to go the the Raptor petcock, That can save ya a ton of headaches.
