Default Time for some intense maintenance

just finished going thru the sportster now time for the shovel. Did a complete oil change flush all lines and tank with clean oil then fill with fresh put rear up cleaned the chain checked for wear adjusted and trued to track on sprockets. Then applied several coats chain lube and allow set for awhile then wipe of excess. All this made easy with lift table and small floor jack to lift rear tire up. Tomorrow will change ends put front up and take care of bearings and brakes .
Have had best time this shovel been riding it for 14 years now and has been reliable.. Enjoy being able to Maintain it and with help from people on the H. D. forum Thanks. Wild Bill
