In March 08 I bought my first HD in 25 years. My last was a 83 sporty,sure wish i still had it.
The fltr i bought in 08 was a big purchase and i was a bit skeptical at first. hoping i wouldn't be in the shop like i have read so many have. Since day one i have rode the poo out of the 08 fltr and have been so danm pleased with its performance. The only issue i ever had was the high idle. this i found to be more of operator error than anything. I just make sure bike has idled down before i shut her down. It burns no oil,makes no funky noises,and handles like a dream.
I have done the last 2 services and use M1 syn in the motor,Specrto in the trans, formula+ in the primary. all on the advice from the great people of this forum.
As of today i have racked up 17,800 mles in 13 months.Not to shabby for Orygun and SW washington.The only time i didn't ride was Dec (snow).I did ride in 20 deg weather and in the rain. Thanks to my full FXRG outfit, but next winter im getting some heatted stuff. The bike rides great in the rain.
And lastly i have kept the bike stock.
Thanks for all the advice and ride safe guys and gals
