1. Engine Oil (you can list your oil type in your response but we'll say HD 360 here)
2. HD oil filter (we'll say chrome twin cam)
3. Primary oil (we'll say HD Formula+)
4. Transmission Oil (we'll say Bel-Ray Gear Saver)
5. Clean A/C if needed
6. Tighten secondary belt (if needed)
7. Tighten primary chain (if needed)
8. Lubricate cables (if needed)
9. Check tire pressures (add if needed)
10. Check brake pads (install new ones if needed at cost of pads only)
11. Change spark plugs (if needed at cost of new plugs only)
12. Check tread depth
13. Adjust Clutch (if needed)
14. Grease all fittings

If you didn't or don't do your own work, what is a fair price for this service? If a different oil type is used than the ones listed, what kind does your dealer or Indy use and what are the costs? Just trying to get a feel for what is considered a reasonable price for this type of service. Thanks in advance.
We do all this and more in my shop for $117 plus oil and materials. You forgot to mention checking the battery condition, charging system, steering head, suspension, wheel bearings, swing arm and critical fasteners. A GOOD tech and hit all those areas and more in a reasonable time.

Southern Cycles in Apopka. I’ll admit we won’t install new pads at just the cost of the brake pads though. Thats because when we do a brake pad R&R we also do a caliper service and inspect brake fluids. Yes, we also activate the ABS when flushing the fluids.

I do it myself for the price of the materials.
Harley has not touched one of my bikes for decades.

I used to do all of my own maintenance, but I traded for a 2019 and got warranty for life on the drivetrain . Only stipulation is dealer has to perform oil changes every 5000 miles to keep warranty. so I do one myself in between at 2500 miles that way I still get to inspect and check every thing myself.

Not only what you say but it is nice to see one of James threads in the forum considering he is no more.
