I bought the disc specifically the touring maintenance/basic dvd.
&nbsp\\;
While I am mechanically inclined I really like the thoroughness of the Video's on changing specifics regarding handle bar controls, brake lines and adjustments to my throttle controls. I specifically bought the dvd because i bought floating rotors and I like to have that warm fuzzy feeling that I really know my work instructions going into a project
&nbsp\\;
I give the disc 4 ouot of 5, only cause I havent watched the entire disc as of yet. Good instruction and thorough!

Really liked the DVD I bought.&nbsp\\; I have done several things using their guidance, top notch and very well put together!&nbsp\\; Register your copy when you get it and they will email you the script from all the scenes in the dvd...very handy when you go out to the shop to actually do the work!

The DVD is great for general maintenence and getting you over being scared to dig in.
The rest of their Online Stuff like Kix My Hog Hogger website is Bogus.
Cant log in EVERY time you try.
Just buy the Vids and be done with the other stuff, it's just too darn agrivating.

Bought the Touring Set (Maintenance and Bolt on Performance) last year.&nbsp\\; Very informative, step by step, and like mentioned above, gives the confidence to get out a wrench even for a pencil head like me.&nbsp\\; Great supplement to the service manual.

I have the touring DVD. I bought it when I first bought my bike and had not knowledge of HD's.&nbsp\\; I like the DVD and I refer back to it before dig into the bike.&nbsp\\; For me, it was very worth it.&nbsp\\; It's nice to actually SEE how to do things rather then just read and look at an illustration.
