Default How to fix your Harley

If anyone is interested in bringing a Harley tech into your Garage with you, you may want to check this site out. Instructional video on basic upkeep of you Bike, tools needed, oil changes, spark plugs, etc etc

They only have DVD's on Softails and Touring Models right now, and I think the sporty is next on the list

It's about the price of the Service Manual, but a good idea none the less.

Has anyone used these before? I've heard great reviews but that might be because they're the only thing out there like this. Of course, for complete know-nothings like me, anything's gotta be better than nothing.
