He should have replaced the muffler bearings while he did the lifters. And at 15,000 miles the blinker fluid is way overdue to be changed.

If I walked into a Harley dealer to buy a new bike and they told me your gonna need new lifters at 23k I would say where's the door and the nearest Honda dealer.

Come-on... You'd do that if they told you Harleys needed the oil changed every 5K.

Please don't be a jack wad! I didn't imply all Harley I stated my Harley. And for those with worry free miles good for you. That's not the luck of everybody. And he's not a dishonest mech. I had a problem with my bike and he fixed it and a very reasonable price. I on the other hand am not a mechanic so I'm sure I have the lingo wrong on what he said would probably need attention at around 50k. He did not say make sure you come see me at 50k so I can install these parts that go bad..lol

I need to find some guys like that for my garage.

I have a whole case of Keneuter Valves just waiting for the right bikes to roll in.
