I guess I'm wondering what everyones thoughts are on going over that much on my 1000 mile service. I did change the oil at 520 miles so the original oil has already been replaced.

Thoughts please. I'm a new Harley owner (been riding metric bikes for a number of years) and don't want to cause any warranty issues or damage to the bike if I go over that much.

Thanks all.
no....

Actually, you should do your own 1 K check/service.

Mostly all they do is change your fluids anyway and some checking.
Maybe adjust the clutch.

Get a service manual and do it yourself.
