Nope, Genuine HD Service for the SEAC.
No mention of smoking, open flames, etc.
Just don't forget the big two, and you'll be fine!

Confession time? I reused my gasket and screws when I replaced my fuel filter. And I reuse my brake pad pins until they show signs of wear or corrosion. And I still use my original primary cover gasket and derby cover O Ring (and will until they leak.) And I didn't pull my front end apart from the top when I replaced my fork seals either.

Bless me Harley for I have sinned.....

Unfortunately it's a liability. We now have to be cautious to protect the morbidly ignorant in fear of lawsuits. If someone starts wrenching on their bike, let's a wrench slip causing a connection between power and ground, they will likely cite that 'no where in the instructions did it say to remove the fuse, or disconnect the battery' and then here comes the negligence suit.

It's a sad, sad world that we live in....
