Suggestions for maintenance.....
My dealer usually cuts labor rates during the winter months - last year at one point it was 50% off. I will be storing my bike at the dealer this year and I am looking for suggested maintenance checks and repairs that I should have them do while the rate is low..
My bike: I have a 2000 RKC with 38000 miles. This is the 2nd season I have owned the bike and I have done the following: replaced stator; new battery; new primary chain/shoes and cam kit (OEM); changed spark plug wires; and I have done the routine fluid changes.

Assuming you have done all scheduled maintenance... If you just want to spend some money on her and trust that your dealer has good mechanics, have them install a set of good performance cams.
I would look at something a little more aggressive than the HD 255. Andrews, S&S, Wood all make great cams. Might as well replace the bearings with Torringtons. Of course you will need a good tune. Then you could always go with big bore kits and ported heads. You can get your HP and torque way up there!
Talk to Jamie at Fuel Moto and search for some of his post. I personally have always gone for performance over bling.
