Default Preventive Maintenance Checklist

Can anyone come up with a preventive maintenance checklist for shovelheads and how regularly it should be checked?

you will have to narrow that down a bit shovels in different years have the same but different issues --

year of bike / condition - pictures help

original or modeed - list mods

mileage if known

how long have you owned it

what have you done to it

do you have the factory service books parts and service

and what have you done to it since you have owned it
