Default I did it !
Ok, I know this is not at all impressive to you veteran bikers on here. Today I changed the primary/engine/tranny fluids and changed the plugs on my '04 FLHPI. It's cool to know that I saved about $200 by doing this all myself. Now I have more confidence to do more stuff in the future. I am pretty proud of myself

FYI - For the newbies...It really does pay to get the service manual for your bike. Also the experienced advice of the veterans on here is awesome !

Yep, the manual is the Bible. Get it, use it, believe in it!

Congratulations! Most of the maintenance stuff isn't too hard once you get into it.

It should now mean more to you when you tell someone that this my bike.
All all easy with the manual, proper tools, and time. Always take your time.
