RE: @#$$%%^oil change !!!!

I don't reckon that I'd consider all the oil in one hole a feature. The gearbox shears the oil and accelerates viscocity breakdown. The air cooled motor is tough enough on oil let alone what tranny gears do to it.

I like the three hole design, reminds me of a hooker I met in PI.

The few dealers I checked into on the west coast charge a flat rate of $90 per hour.

so ? what is the 'normal' price at harley shops ? to change all three holes ?

weet

The going price here in Phoenix is $75 to $80 for just the engine oil, except for Buddy Stubbs H.D., which only charges $50. Don't know what it would be for all 3 holes but $92 seems fair to me.

I thought I'd save a few bucks by changing my own fluids, but after spending $60+ on fluids and filter, jerki'n her around, messi'n with the jack, and getting all slopped up, I figure next time I'll pay $20-$25 more and let someone else do it while I stoll the toy isles in the showroom!
