I do the 5k, 10k, and 15K (these are my schedules) at least once a season, usually early after the cold weather to get rid of any condensation
So ... now I'm ready for the trip except for installing the mighty mites .... unless I'm mistaken, they will be here Monday ...
... Installed Tuesday or Wednesday.
I also played with my crank case breather hose lengths. I tried using the chrome coated stuff I have ... couldn't get it to not touch anything. So I just gave up and went with black as tight as I could so it doesn't show much and there is a space below the can = no rubbing anywhere.
All in all, it took about five hours ... Harley would of charged around $700-800. They did get $150 for the brake and clutch fluid flush and $120 for the fluids and gaskets/o-rings ... So i figure i saved ~$400 ... and I know it's done right, or at least if it's not it's my fault ... LOL.
Only found one thing I didn't like ... all three drain plugs had that sealer on the o-rings ... I hate that stuff. Pain to clean off.
The primary and engine oil didn't look too bad, but the oil filter was a cheap Chinese (I think) version ,,, The tranny definitely had Red Line in it. So, now I have a base line.
I did get the kuryakyn Filler Pad for the tour pak last night (UPS showed up around 8:20 pm ... that's my bed time) ... I think I will do the tour pak relocation thing from DK .. Kuryakyn had a short supply warning so I ordered the filler. Pretty sure after this trip, I'm gonna do the relocation for Harleys Pet Palace, if not, I'll mount the filler pad to the pet palace and use the pet palace as a back rest. Either way I'm ready.
