First time doing service

i agree a table lift is the way to go.. you could also get by on a sears type jack for $100.00.. THey are really not that bad at all. Now just get you H-D specific tools and you are set too go...You never have to rely on the dealer anymore. I know my local dealer has roughly 2 week waits on oil changes. I think that is outrageous. This will save you tons of bucks in the long run....good luck on all your project, if you have any problems/questions let us know....oopp i almost forgot the service manual..the most importand h-d tool.

2 week wait for oil changes? Incredible! And they probably charge like $75-$80 with SYN3. Do it yourself, use the dealer for warranty work only.

my thought exactly.....and for some reason people around here drop their bikes up for that long there. They charge $84.00 and hour now as well....

Did the 2500 mile service on my Ultra today. First time as I always took my Deuce to the dealer. Took awhile but everything went smooth. Definitely need a table lift. Just too hard laying on the garage floor. I figure after 4 services the lift is paid for.
