My rocker covers started leaking bad on my last long ride, so I will be taking the gas tank off and fixing that. BTW, anyone else have this issue?
New battery. I am still using the stock battery from 2005. It is getting weak so it is time to replace it before it leaves me stranded.
Full maintenance. All lubes and oils including front shocks.
Run through every fastener on the bike and check torque.
Check the cam chain tensioners. I will replace if needed.
New rear tire. I mount and install my own.
A thorough detail.

Just general maintenance. Change all fluids, new battery, maybe some new grips but that's about it. I'm happy with the bike the way it is so its time to start working on the jeep & quad.

oh yeah me too on the rear tire. i just replaced my factory rear it had 10,200 miles on it. i also went with dynabeads in the rear and going to give them a try and see if i like them. i believe i got my moneys worth out of it. i also need to modify my saddlebag brackets and make them more rigid. good call on checking all your fasteners!!!! everyone needs to do that!!!

My winter projects include - Cervical spine fusion at c4/c5, c5/c6, c6/c7, right rorator cuff surgery, left rotator cuff surgery, right ulnal nerve surgery, left ulnar nerve surgery... and if I heal in time, replace tires on the Dyna. I already changed all fluids in all three bikes and they are ready for a long winter's nap. I think I am ready for a dirt nap. Oh ya - looking for a new house is on the list too. I need a bigger garage and am looking for a place with at least two 3 - car garages.

Putting on new handle bars...something shorter and fatter then what I have now, not sure what though. If I can come up with the money I'd like to change the rear suspension. New front TS, I've had these sitting in my tool box for 6 months now, I htink it's time to get um on. http://www.jokermachine.com/itemstreet2004.asp?ItemID=767&CategoryID=92&Placeh older=0
