Yeah, I bought the "Fix My Hog" video. I'll be doing the maintenance myself in the future.

I let the dealer do the thousand mile, and thats it. I always do my own work, unless its warrenty work and even then if its something small I would do it myself. The dealers around here take 2 weeks to look at your bike, and the closest one to me I don't trust.
