Those low-maintenance HD fellas are looking pretty smart right about now.
You can save a fortune by doing a lot of it yourself if you are prepared to. I do not know how competent you are with a spanner etc, but i have now got round to doing all my own setvicing except...... getting the throttle bodies balanced. My vacuum guages are good, but not good enough to balance them accurately enough for the ECU.

Got the shim removal tool which made the valve shims a piece of cake and the rest was just about taking it easy and going step by step.

I am NOT going to pay £450 again to service a motorcycle !! My car is cheaper tp service for heavens sake !!
