HD Service $$ ??
So how much is the 1000 mile service going to set me back on my Dyna Bob? And how long can I expect it to take if I make an appointment? Couple of hours or all day? Never took my other bike in for fluids did it myself, but I want a good "look over" on this first one! Thanks.

But hopefully you have a respectable dealer that you deal with.

I pulled up what all they are "suppose" to do & it's quite a bit...since I have spoke rims I want them to check, tighten, & keep the rim "true". Damn, that is a good chunk of change...could think of a lot of other HD items I could spend that money on!

Do it yourself, you will regret getting ripped off haveing them change your fluids for that much. I wouldn't be to concerned with your spokes being out of true at 1000 miles, but if your concerned, take it to your local dirt bike shop, they should do it for a lot less and a lot better then your hd dealer.

You can buy a spoke tool for cheap and just check them periodically, just make sure you have them all even.

The local HD shop gives a free 1000 miles service when you buy a bike there...Probably figured in the purchase price....They use the word "Free" but it will always cost you something....Like going to Syn3 etc.

Paid $411 with Syn-3 in all holes. Like stated above, you're gonna leave thinking you took a hosing for a glorified oil change.
