Default Double, maybe triple, hit...

Well ****, gonna hit the 25k on the Dyna and 10k service on the EG at about the same time... The Dyna has a couple of issues as well - motor mounts noted on the last service and now slipping from 5th under heavy acceleration. On top of that, the Stage 2 parts are here sitting awaiting installation on the EG (warranty expires in January... can I bear to wait that long?). Guess it's going to be an expensive September... LOL - YOLO!

I (vaguely) remember when my '85 FXRS hit 10 and 25,000 mi. LOL..!!
I thought I was in "hi-mile" territory.
WTF has happened to your Dyna motor mounts..???
25k is barely broken in. Mounts bad already..?? Is it age related...not miles ??

Not sure, it's my commuter ride now (20 miles/day). I'll see what he says this time. He may just not like the Sputhe PosiTrac Dyna stabilizer (he hates non-H-D parts) or maybe they're causing some accelerated wear??

That's what happens when you have "multiple" motorcycles

I currently have two "garage queens" that will need new tires and tubes shortly, with very little miles on the tires.
I probably won't replace the WWW's on my Springer for a bit longer as I ride it rarely and when I do it's local but the other is my wife's Heritage and I wouldn't risk letting her ride on tires more than 6 years old even though they still look like new.

Just bought two new "dresser batteries but the two batteries still crank over great but I will replace the one in the Heritage IF my wife plans on riding this season which is doubtful now that Labor Day is just a month away.
