Thanks!!
One observation, though - as with any "tip", sometimes ya gotta take it with a grain of salt. Like the recommendation to clean the saddle with alcohol. Yeah - it'll clean it - it'll also dry the leather out. There are cleaners/conditioners out there that won't leave it shiny an' slick, but will still give the leather a good cleaning AND conditioning.

Yeah, I agree. And it depends on what the seat is made of. Overall, a bunch of interesting information that someone took a lot of time to put together.

Yeah, I always carry tools but come to think of it my Harleys are the only brand of bike I ever bought that didn't come with any tools or a place to store them.

My 07 Street Glide came with a very basic tool kit bundle...stored in the bag of course.
