Welcome to the forum Vetem. As for your maintenance question, you will get more answers if you post it in the DIY help forum than the new member forum. As for your original question, specifically, where are you experiencing leaks and how much mechanical experience do you have?

Is there a area for riders that live in a certain area? Like I live in arkansas and have no other cruiser friends to ride with. Most of my riding buddies have rockets but I love my harley.
