1000 mile HD service?
#51
Finally hit 1K and took the IRON in for service. I ended up paying $305 w/ synthetic oil. The only thing I was unhappy about was that I went in with a clean bike and it came out an oily, hand prints all over mess. They couldn't have just graved some Windex and wipe it down, come on!
I am curious after the service I feel the IRON a bit stiffer and it almost feels like the bar shakes a bit more than usual on the highway. Anyone else notice there scoot feel different after their service???

I was quoted "starting at $475" for the 1k for a Dyna. Really? Fluid changes, making sure nothing is loose and a test ride?
Yes I can do the fluid changes myself, but I like to have another set of eyes look things over. Found a indie shop that changed out everything to syn fluids for under $200. And he let me stay with him while the bike was up on the lift and showed me everything he did.

I just completed my 5k service (all 21 things that I am supposed to to inspect/change) according to my service manual. Doing it for the very first time it did take me around 8 hrs in total spread across 3 weekends.
There is nothing that any person with a common sense and a little mechanical inclination can't do. Only tricky thing is to find what are all the "critical fasteners" that you are supposed to check.
I saved around $300 that are possibly being re-invested into a wide-glide conversion kit ...

And this is one reason why I love Garage Queens and Barn Finds: no BS warranty worries. Get the manuals, get the videos, do it yourself, check your fluid levels frequently, then 500 miles later do it all again, and again at another 500 miles, and keep on repeating the process until you can do it without the manuals and with your eyes closed.

Aside from the wobble I feel in the bars on the highway I noticed that after about 50 mi. oil is seeping out through either the chrome pin shown in the pic or the actual clutch cable. Both have oil by them but I can’t tell where it's coming from. Either way calling the dealer today and asking them WTF?

Which one did you go to? I thought I remembered it being around $500. I've been meaning to check with Seminole Harley for their prices. I know I like the employees there better but what I cant do myself or isn't warranty theres a bunch of great indy shops around: Southern Cycles up in Apopka those guys are great. Moine(sp?) and then Pete over in longwood at chopper design. Great guys. There's so many good shops around I cringe when I see people going to the dealerships.
Found Cycle Pro on Yelp. Just a few miles from my place. There was a $10 coupon on Yelp for checking in also. Came to $184 and change.
