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!!!

 

Yes can be done.

Take $60 Buy Service Manual.
Take more money buy oil and filter of your choice.
Read Service Manual for steps in servicing your ride.
Perform Service work according to book.

Thank you, that is all.

 

Here you are. A lot of dealer sites list it.

I think $220 is a relative bargain for this, here in economically vibrant Michigan, its upwards of $400

 

Yes U can

 

Seems like a whole lot of nothing for $200. Check this, check that... my car has 90k miles on it and other than oil changes and brake pads I havent checked a damn thing and she runs like a dream. Not sure all that couldnt have been done in 1hrs worth of labor?

 

inspect & top off transmission lubricant

change transmission lubricant, clean magnetic drain plug

That doesn't make too much sense to inspect and top off, then change it?

 

+1 For $220, I'd be all over it. Yeah, I got the manual and do most of my own wrenching, but my time is worth something too. Up here you're looking at $400-$500.

 

That must be the $400 service.

 

Yes U can do it.. but $220 is pretty good If U don't know how..
