RE: Ok...I have a question about the Spring service.
ORIGINAL: Storm
When I bought the bike 4 weeks ago, the Service manager told me I needed to bring the bike in at 500 miles to get the springs checked. No charge, just a check to make sure everything looked good on them. Cool. I now have 500 + miles on the bike and called to set up a time to bring the bike in for the check. NOW they tell me H-D has changed that and it's now part of the 1,000 mile service. Heck, man I skipped a few days riding because I knew I wouldn't be able to get the bike to the dealer before this week. Has anyone else run into this? Should I push for the 500 mile check?? Or is it fine to go to 1,000 before the check?
Yeah, the Dealer didn't mention a 500 mile spring checkup for me. Just stressed how important the 1,000 mile checkup was. So that's what I'm shooting for.

sfcmo357, How does your girl like the rear seat? I have a Deluxe and my wife hates it. It's alot narrower then yours and I am thinking about your seat setup for my bike. Thanks, George
Has anyone noticed the chrome on there handlebars is yellow compared to the rest of the chrome? (My bikes an 05 springer classic) Just wondering if this is normal or I should complain about it, the difference is quite noticeable?
I have noticed mine has a yellowish sheen! I thought I was just imagining this, but when I was cleaning the bike a few weeks back I noticed this. I was planning on asking the dealer about it at the 500 mile spring check, but now I'll have to wait until 1,000 miles. It does look a bit odd doesn't it? I poilished it twice and no change. I wonder if this is normal with all of these beach bars?
