I don't think adding shocks would void anything.
My last bike I installed a complete exaust and new shocks before the 1000 mile service and had them do the stage 1 and never heard a thing about anything else.
I have a new old FXDB and have only 500 miles on it so far (bad winter) and installing new shocks this week. I plan to do new spings in the forks next week.
I had warranty work on the fuel gage last month as it was popping out and had already installed new Rush muffles and new seat.
Not a word about that either.
I think they are more worried about internal engine work upgrades.
Of course if you work on it and mess it up you really can't hold them responsible,
When I traded my last bike in they didn't like the fact that I installed sealer on the rocker gaskets. Hey I did it so it wouldn't leak again.
I purchased a three year plan but that would only be one extra but they said having the extra warranty would cover more that the regular warranty.
I hope I never need it.
I like to maintain and do my own work I have the proper work manual and do my homework.
If they want your continued buisness they will overlook the little stuff.
I have my 1000 mile service and went in and purchased the oil from them and it is record at 500 mile change.
I would like to do the oil changes myself, I can adjust the clutch easy enough.
Having a bike is my hobby and I feel paying someone $300.00 to change my oils is too much.
I have asked around and I was told that I could do my own oil chages but keep a record.
If you bought a new car you just keep a record of the oil changes for the warranty.

 

Mobil 1 V-Twin Synthetic 20W-50

Spectro Heavy Duty Primary Chaincase Oil

Spectro Heavy Duty Platinum 6-speed Transmission Oil

I can buy the Spectro products tomorrow at a mc shop just 2 miles from the house. I had them in my hands yesterday. I bought 5 quarts of the Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 at Auto Zone. I will put 3 quarts in the engine and keep the other 2 for my next oil change.


Thanks again neocontra for the answer to my question on the warranty.

Sorry for bringing up another sticky thread on oil. I just wanted to get the warranty issued clear. I called HD and if their service puts in Mobile 1. I have to sign that they did so.

I am going to my local Indy for my 1000 service.

I run the following in my bike

mobil 15w50 full synthetic -engine
mobil 4t 10w40 -primary
redline shockproof heavy -trans

You can put 20w50 in all holes but why??

I have used Spectro before and it's great. I would be using it right now had I not found some shockproof at napa for $8. Sounds like putting 20w50 in the engine, and spectro in the primary and trans is a good idea.

 

1000 mile service completed at R&P Cycles $145 parts and labor.
