BTW, It's really lousy that HD doesn't include a service manual with these $20K + bikes. Do ya think they did that for a reason???

Yeah
Local dealers in Fort Worth get $300.00 for the basic 1000k not including extras.

1k service at HD of Dallas in Allen is $350 for synthetic. I got my 2010 Ultra Limited last week and by the end of next week will need the service. I will pay the price and let them do the first service. In the mean time i will get the service manual ($60) from Denniskirk.com and see what all the services entail. I have always done the work myself but with the complexity of the bikes this day and age not to mention the cost of buying one i may let them do the 'major' services....

Bought my bike in Conyers. I did't ask waht the 1000 service will be but I assume it will be similar to Newnan. I tried buying in Newnan but they just could not make my offer. The sales guy pissed me off when I told him I bought elseware and he said you just needed to let us know what you would pay. That is precisely what I did, and they gave me a price that didn't meet my offer. Granite Mountain did.
I didn't mean to steal the thread.

I dropped my Road King Classic off at HD Collierville today for the 1k. Part of the purchase deal.
On the way on rt64 I heard dink-dink-clunk-crash. Oh no! As I rode I looked all over the bike and saw nothing missing. Next time I went to heel-shift though... there was nothing to shift. Sure 'nuf, the shifter arm had come loose and fallen off on a four lane. Doubled back and found the now beat up arm. I'll get a new one, warranty.
I asked service the warranty question. I really pushed for definitive answers, I had to. He wasn't anxious to be in the conversation. He said HD would honor user-done work so long as we have receipts and accurate, detailed logs but warned I'd (we'd) better know each and every requirement of a given service. 1k, 5k, 10k etc. If it could be proven that a detail was skipped or done incorrectly, no warranty.
Now does that mean HD would 'try' to prove it? I don't know. Would assume it'd depend on what dealer you're at and on what day.
Example - On the 5k (I think) they check spokes for torque. That's just one example. It'll be interesting what the service manual says is required for the different services.
Aaaanyway, I'll get her back in about 5 days... sheese. Keep thinking 'free'.
