Help with new Duece
I bought a distress sale 2003 Duece with 42K miles and some worn/scratched chrome around the back wheel from bags. It is in fair condition, but runs and rides well, new battery, plugs, tires.
Couple questions. How much is this thing worth? 6-7K???? It is dirty, has a thin coat oil/dirt on the engine case. Can I use a high pressure sprayer and some degreaser to hose it down?
I also want to change the fluids, is there a DIY section for this bike?
Runs and rides great, surprised its actually pretty quick in comparison to my 1200 sporty.

Your probably about right on the price.
Get a good engine degreaser let it soak and a good garden hose sprayer should clean it up well...
As far as fluids, close to same as ur sporty, drain plug under oil tank on frame. Drain and add 3 quarts,.
primary same as sporty drain plug underneath remove cover add a quart put cover on.
Now tranny. Drain plug between the shocks underneath. Drain and add a quart fill plug is on top on exhaust side

If you Google or Youtube search Softail oil change you can find vids of people changing fluids from start to finish.

Ya, we should send that guy some beer. He's certainly provided a great guide for free!
There are certainly a few good videos out there as well but I always find so many of them have terrible sound and shaky video.
