Default Productive Sunday

We finally had a nice weekend day, so I figured I better get my motorcycle service done so it's ready for the spring. This was the first time I changed all of the fluids without a jack. My current jack won't work with this bike.
Now she's all ready to go for another 4,000 miles!






After I finished, I figured I might as well enjoy one of these..

What do you mean fluid change? I thought with HDs all you had to do was keep topping it off?

Nice and clean bike there brother, looking good!

Harley just can't get rid of the leaking oil rep when AMF owned them. This is actually my 4th Harley with a combined 70k miles and none of them have leaked. They are actually very reliable now.

They will steal you blind on service though. I bought this one right before winter and this was my 1k mile service and I had to change engine, primary, and tranny oil. Dealership charged $350+ for this. I spent $70 on parts and it took me 1 1/2 hours.

Thanks for the compliments! I wasn't trying to show off the bike, just the fact that I got off my ass today and got something done.

DC,
What do you ride? I forgot to ask you. I know you've mentioned that it is your primary transportation.

Honda VTX and that's my son Drake sitting on there. The windshield is gone now I got a fairing for it. I'm not the bagger type but I travel long distance quite a bit and a fairing beats a windshield hands down!

I've heard the VTX is a great bike DC. My last bike was a bagger (Street Glide), but it wasn't in the budget anymore with getting married, buying a house, and now having a baby all within a year. I really miss that bike.

Very nice. I'd like to get back into either another Street Glide or an Ultra Limited one day.
