I just need yall's input and opinion. I know this subject comes up a lot. 1000 mile service, should I do it or have the dealer do it. what are the pros and cons of dealer doing it.

Harley's Service/Maintenance schedule is a major income producer for the company,. People who actually RIDE their bikes, and have basic mechanical skills and a few tools, can bypass that whole expensive maintenance nightmare scene by simply following a few basic common sense guidelines, and keeping some minimal service records for warranty and resale purposes. If you feel better having them do it go for it, but no body is going to care for your machine like you do.

Thanks a lot for your input. You are right. No one will take care of it like myself

Do it yourself and two things will happen: you'll save a couple hundred dollars and ensure it was done correctly (no loose drain plugs, no improper fluid levels, no scratches, etc).

Also, I'd chose something other than 20w50 for tranny and primary.

X2 on Redline primary and tranny fluid. I use Mobil 1 V-Twin 20w50 in the crankcase. You can find it at most auto parts stores, which is good when on the road, and if on sale is $9-10 a qt.

FWIW: On Amazon I just ordered a Mobil 1 V-Twin 6 pack $68.01 and a K&N chrome oil filter $12.63 and $5.64 Sales Tax for a Total of $86.28 AND FREE SHIPPING.
