The Motorcycle Discussion Thread
I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.
Tire Mount and Balance Prices (as of 10/29/16) Prices based on if you remove the wheels yourself and bring the wheels and new tires with you: Cycle Gear - $35 per wheel if you buy tires from them. $58 per wheel if you buy tires elsewhere Rawhide - $65 per wheel (assuming it would be the same at other HD dealers. they book it at 1/2 hr per wheel) C R Cycle Tires (DeSoto) - $30 per wheel Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 Last edited by Dayze; 10-29-2016 at 09:02 PM.. |

I too, am taking my up north for services. I was pleased with Worth. great customer experience. Very pleased. Worth was also able to get me into the bike at 7% APR (my credit is good, but not in the 800s etc). Rawhide was at 17% lol. I just laughed and said 'Ok...well I'll think about it". lol I got the service plan (I usually opt out of such) and my payments are still less than what it would've been at Rawhide. For those who aren't aware what the service plan entails: 20k miles; unlimited term -1 Front Tire -1 Rear Tire -1 Front Brakes -1 Rear Brakes -4 Winterizations -4 Oil Changes - 1: 1000 miles service -1: 5000 mile service -1: 10000 mile service -1: 15000 mile service -1: 20000 mile service. 10% discount on gear/store type stuff

I haven't looked at HD labor rates/service costs etc, but I suspect there might be a 'slight' savings with the plan. Not sure though. From what I've heard, service at HD is $$$. It'll be nice to not have to worry about coming up with $ when things come due. I probably could've gone either way, but just decided **** it. why not.

Not sure. I know there is a schedule at 900; probably to replace the break-in oil; probably check cabling etc. I'll probably break it in like my other bikes unless the owners manual states otherwise etc.

Dayze, you do any regional organized rides? I did the labor day rally at Perry this year is all. Wanted to do bikers for babies and a Cassoday run, but work kept interfering. Know of any others in the area to recommend?
I saw Kobi's is doing a fund raiser this month for a guy that passed's family, but other than that pretty much most are done for the year it seems. We had family and friends that have had HD's and pushed me to get one for so long. Finally got to where could get one and it seems like now am having limited riding partners other than the wife. My dad sold his last fall, brother-in-law got divorced by my sister (taking his vrod with him), other brother-in-law moved back down to Alabama before Christmas taking his, and friend that had really been working me moved down to Texas taking his with him.. I have a buddy here at work that rides, but he's old and Sober so doesnt get out much. A married couple we know that don't get out much either, and of course the buddy that rides an R1. For the most part the wife and I ride around looking for nice scenery and roads.

For my Road King, it was don't go over 3k RPMs for the first 50 miles. Don't go over 3500 for the first 500 miles. Take it easy on the brakes for the first 200 (?) miles. At 1000 miles, they replaced all the fluids and checked the cabling.

I'm usually down to ride whenever to get out of town. I used ot head out on a Saturday/Sunday morning, get in a tankful ride-ish; stop for some breakfast or lunch, then head back etc. It was pretty regular. Are you local?
