The maintenance is done!

Just got the bike back from Kelly's Harley Davidson. It was a frigid ride but my HOG is safely back home. So here is a list of the things that were done in preparation for the ride across America. The motor was completely disassembled and all the seals replaced. The carb was re-jetted and the intake manifold seals replaced (she is purring like a jungle kitty now). The fork oil was replaced. New front and rear tires and a new front brake rotor were installed. The original buck-horn handle bars and a new windscreen were added. All the oils were replaced, and all the belts, chains, and cables were adjusted. Finally, the wheel bearings were cleaned, re-greased and repacked.

Now she is ready for the journey. Can't wait for this ding dang snow to go away! Hurry up April!!!
