My 2005 Softail Deluxe is getting close to having the 15,000 mile service done. Stealer wants about $220 (or something like that) for it. Not sure what it all entails. Can I do it myself? Let me know what all needs to be done. Thanks!!!
U can buy service manual on eBay for about $45. Ur user manual tells u specifically what is required. DO NOT take it to stealership....they will rip you off..you can buy all the gaskets on eBay...or from SurDyke HD...use Redline V twin lubes or Amsoil....stay away from one-fits-all Harley juice...made by Sunoco...and nothing special cept Harley label. I use K&N oil filter...better than MOCO... and easier to put on and take off. Nothing hard or complex about 15k service....just need fairly standard tools. If U do it...U will know it got done and got done well. I've worked at stealers and they give maintenance work to the least qualified and youngest noob in the shop....do u want a snotty nosed pimple faced teenager wrenching on ur bike?
Do it urself....save money....and feel good about it to boot.
