#1... do your own work. you will do what you think needs to be done. and not wonder about random guy shenanigans
#2... he may have done it by the book. did you look at your maint. schedule?

If you had a guy do it, why has a Harley tech, anywhere near it? And how exactly did he notice that it was not changed?

What is the primary / transmission service interval on the 2017 models?

I didn't find the service intervals for the 2017 Touring in the online owners manual at serviceinfo.harley-davidson.com.

The 2017 Police models do show primary and transmission fluid changes at 1000 miles.

Maybe the "guy" didn't do all the service you needed. What else did he skip?

Unless Harley has recently made a change, the service interval schedule is listed in the back of your Owners Manual.
