Default Road Glide Using oil
I have a 03 road glide with 8100 miles on it. Bought it a year ago. Just did a 600 mile round trip and noticed it was a quart low. I still have another year on service protection. This is not commen is it? Any help would be great.

Less than 1k a year means lots of time for seals to dry out which can lead to leaks and more. I know a lot of people like to buy low mileage bikes but sitting can be just as hard on them.

BBerck, that makes perfect sense. I wonder if there are any products out there to help swell the seals without damage.
