Guess I now need to add new battery to the list of things I need (also new tires). Would have liked to have gotten more than 22 months out of a battery.
Yeah, the stock hd batteries are garbage. I had to replace mine at 23 months. I picked up a duracell battery from Batteries plus for like 85 bucks, I think there is an online coupon somewhere.

Good to know. Will see how things go tomorrow. Taking day off to get it done. My dealer has generally been a straight shooter when it comes to service. Will be interesting to see what they tell me.

Nobody knows? For such a nice motorcycle, Harley sure skimped on the horn. Reminds me of those "C" battery bicycle horns I had as a kid. No, I think those were louder!

Do those bars pullback more then the stock bars with the stock risers?

Did you get it from a private seller or a dealer?

Nice. Gotta love people who buy a new HD and never ride it. HD Garage Queens are great way to get a almost new bike for much less than you would have shelled out at the dealer.
