Hello everyone! I am new to the forum. I ride a 2002 RKC and my wife rides a 2002 FatBoy. Just did a service on the Fatboy on my own. Normally I let a local shop do it but have decided I need to get a little more hands on to save some money and free up time waiting on the shop.
Have a Great Day!

Welcome to the Forum from central IL. My wife has a FatBoy also, but it's me and not a muttersickle. Good idea to practice on hers and get perfect for yours.

Welcome, I also own an 02 Road King, except mine is the standard. My wife rides an 04 Vrod. I don't work on our bikes but since I'm a Service Manager of a HD dealer I get the pick of my tech and get that discount.
Don't forget to post pics.

RE: new member

Welcome to the forums.

I do all my own services, including tire changes. At 75.00 per hour, I can't justify having the Dealership do it.

I just changed fluids on both bikes in Kingman, Az, while on a trip, and I was not happy with that dealership. They would not let me dump my old fluids, even though I bought the new fluid from them, and offered to pay a disposal fee.

As a result, I will not do business with them if I can help it.

Regards,

Bill
