Doing my 5K service!


Yesterday I decided to do the 5K service on my 2007 Harley Davidson Softail Heritage Classic. Before this, I always had the Harley Davidson shop do it. After talking to some of my friends who ride and do their own service, I decided to go for it. I bought a motorcycle lift from Sears. It is a Craftsman Model #875.50191. It is made of aluminum so it is light but easily handles the H D Softail bike which weighs almost 800 pounds. For the 5k service the main thing was changing the oil and filter. I bought the filter from Harley-Davidson, part #63798-99A and Mobile 1 Synthetic 20W- 50 oil from Walmart. The servicing took me about two hours after doing all the required checks and inspections on the 5k service list. Including the price of the lift and oil I spent about $180. I also bought the service manual for the 2007 Harley-Davidson Softail Heritage Classic, part #99482-07 which is loaded with detailed diagrams and pictures for doing your service. The price of the manual is about $60. So all totaled up, it is about the price of one service at the Harley Davidson shop.

Yesterday was a GREAT day. We rode to the CMA breakfast at the local Harley-Davidson shop. Visited with friends. It was cold enough to where chaps this morning! Then the sun finally came out and we rode to the Orange Grove to pick up our Citrus for the week. The sun was shining brightly. What a wonderful ride we had!!
There is nothing better then taking a ride on our Harley.

I use and buy Lipodrene with Ephedra and tell my readers to try this product because it's amazing and very strong but I know a few of my readers fear pills and would rather drink teas because it may be easier on there body so when I saw a tea product with ephedra my readers had a positive reaction and I did as well and quickly went to your site to see what it was all about before I refer my readers to your product and it looks pretty good. I know you've already tried the tea but I'd like to as well being that I like refer my readers to products I believe work so I'm getting my hubby lol to buy a supply and take pics of my weight loss products which visual proof for my trusted to see me lose weight will do wonders for sales. Thanks for finding my blog and taking time to let me know about your wonderful product!
