Productive Sunday
 

We finally had a nice weekend day, so I figured I better get my motorcycle service done so it's ready for the spring. This was the first time I changed all of the fluids without a jack. My current jack won't work with this bike.
Now she's all ready to go for another 4,000 miles!

After I finished, I figured I might as well enjoy one of these..

Re: Productive Sunday
 

What do you mean fluid change? I thought with HDs all you had to do was keep topping it off? :r:lr

Nice and clean bike there brother, looking good!

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Nice looking bike Tyler.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Nice, wish I still had my bike :td...:tu on the UC

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Ok...jealous of the bike...and the stick...MORE jealous of the weather. It's snowing up here. dang northern latitudes.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

50-60's next 10 days here :tu Finally!!!

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Harley just can't get rid of the leaking oil rep when AMF owned them. :D This is actually my 4th Harley with a combined 70k miles and none of them have leaked. They are actually very reliable now.

They will steal you blind on service though. I bought this one right before winter and this was my 1k mile service and I had to change engine, primary, and tranny oil. Dealership charged $350+ for this. I spent $70 on parts and it took me 1 1/2 hours.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Sweet bike man! Even better stick!!

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Thanks for the compliments! I wasn't trying to show off the bike, just the fact that I got off my ass today and got something done.

DC,
What do you ride? I forgot to ask you. I know you've mentioned that it is your primary transportation.

Honda VTX and that's my son Drake sitting on there. The windshield is gone now I got a fairing for it. I'm not the bagger type but I travel long distance quite a bit and a fairing beats a windshield hands down!

Re: Productive Sunday
 

With these gas prices in NY, currently 4.15/ gal I can't wait till warm weather to ride.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I've heard the VTX is a great bike DC. My last bike was a bagger (Street Glide), but it wasn't in the budget anymore with getting married, buying a house, and now having a baby all within a year. I really miss that bike.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I just piked up a new ride in January and Leigh get her first bike. The weather here in Florida has been Bipolar, one day a high of 89 and the next 70. Great looking rides Tyler and DC.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Thanks Larry. What did you pick up?

Re: Productive Sunday
 

A 2012 Ultra

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Very nice. I'd like to get back into either another Street Glide or an Ultra Limited one day.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Here is Leighs ride, a 2006 VTX1300

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I'm sending love to this thread, bishes, as bikers are present. :banger

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I see....

Paladin crash bars
Vance and Hines Big Shots
Iso grips
Kury mirrors
stock seat
:D

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I had an 07 Road Glide. I do allot of ridding and comfort is important.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

stock seat is now a mustang solo.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I've never tried a Mustang Seat. I had the Sundowner on the Street Glide and it fit me perfectly. No problems riding 4-500 miles a day.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

:tu

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I had 50K on the roadglide when I traded her in. The dealership gave me a DEAL I COULDNT REFUSE!!!! Just waiting for the next road trip. Leigh and I did 3K miles in 6 days last October. Thats how I got the Ultra, Momma Comfort.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I'm suprised you didn't go with the Road Glide Ultra. It seems that when most people go to the Shark Nose, they never go back.
Both bikes are perfect for several thousand mile trips.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I would have, but the $3K difference did it for me. That is allot of mods for the Ultra.:r

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Very true! I didn't know they were that much more. If you don't have one already and you're a GPS fan, I would look into a Zumo GPS unit. It was the best money I spent on a motorcycle.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I have never ridden with a GPS. I still like the old method of getting lost and finding your way.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I wish I could do that. I just get lost and stay lost.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

There are plenty of times that I wish I could stay lost.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I hear ya.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Yup. Bought my Wide Glide in '99 and she's never leaked a drop.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I am trying to talk Leigh into a road trip to north GA and TN this summer. Dont know if it will happen with the Wedding in October.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I also do all my own work. I did my 1K for $120 (synthetic oil) and an hour of my time.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I rode the Natchez Trace Pkwy out that way a couple of years ago. Beautiful country.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I have done most of the riding roads in South TN, GA, NC and SC. Just love the area and people.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

I will usually pick CO over anything else. It's beautiful out there. I also would like to go farther out west too sometime. I haven't gone any farther east than Nashville on the bike so far.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Looking at the lack of snow in the background, you should've enjoyed a ride! Glad you got it ready!

Re: Productive Sunday
 

No snow. The two houses behind us are white, but now that I look closer it does look like snow since it's blurred out.
I did get a ride it. Had to warm it up before chaning fluids! :)

Re: Productive Sunday
 

:tu :tpd:

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Glad you got out for a bit.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Whats up Wade?? Getting ready for the ridding season up there????

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Got the bikes in heated storage, same place every year. I rode in Nov, Dec & Jan, pretty late for here, but we just really got our first snowstorm of the year yesterday, VERY odd winter.

I got new tires just before Sturgis last year, just need to check nuts/bolts and change fluids and I'm ready to roll!

Re: Productive Sunday
 

In your case: Rolling it out the driveway to wash it and put it back in won't make it leak. You gotta ride it and get it up to operating temperature. :lr

It's all good, it's about the ride, not what you ride. :)

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Be careful brother!!! This is what happened to the last NOOB that talked smack to the DOUCHman.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Just because I own a four wheeled vehicle doesn't mean I don't put lots of miles on the bike....bish. ;)

Re: Productive Sunday
 

He gave the noob's butt a footjob? Gross!! :pu



:r:r:lr

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Funny guy. Winning friends and influencing people agian. ;)

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Win here, win there, win win everywhere!

But really Tom, do you wanna talk about my walk-in humidor?
I'm really sorry if you don't. Again, I apologize if you read this.;s


Also I'd like to know what has become of the noob. I... find this to be of utmost importance.

Re: Productive Sunday
 

Is that not how D got into that situation to begin with??????
