That'll be this guy. Meh.
My 04 Road King has basically been playing garage ornament since the middle of last year after I lost confidence in it and my abilities[1]. I finally figured that I either get my act together, give it a service and ride it, or trade it in for something else. But before spending a lot more money on another bike, I decided that "better the devil you know" was a good approach, got everything together for a 5k service, made the usual mess when changing the engine oil and then went to look for the sixth quart of oil so I could change both the transmission and primary drive oil.
That's when I noticed that according to my math, when you need 5.5qts, 5 is good enough , so I put the transmission and primary oil change on hold. That oil is mostly due because of age and not miles anyway, so I guess I can wait for another parcel from Amsoil. Yeah, I could get the primary chain lube from the local dealer but the PO has been running Amsoil in the bike since it was new and it seems to have worked well, so why change now?
I also ordered about a grand's worth of suspension goodies - Progressive 944 rear shocks and their "Touring link" that should finally, hopefully, fix the rear wheel cornering wobble that these bikes are prone to and that makes up a large part of my lack of confidence in this bike. As the parts guy at the Reno HD dealer said, "if those don't fix the wobble I don't know what will". Wish me luck, because if it doesn't work out I'm going back to BMWs.
[1] I had two rear tire blowouts within about three weeks last summer. In both cases, I managed to get the bike to a controlled stop from about 50mph, so I shouldn't really doubt my riding skills that much, but I really didn't fancy riding for quite a while after that. So instead of doing my usual 5k-7k minimum a year, I barely cracked the 1k mile mark last year.
