hi everyone, 

as a new harley rider i'm interested in a maintenance course for harley's and motorbikes in general. Any recommendations? worth while? Just the basics is fine. 

Will certainly investigate! Any you recommend or know of? I"m in south sydney

A lot of community colleges offer a couple of evening courses for a reasonable price. Just check out your local TAFE short courses or Adult Learning Centre, but try and talk to the instructor before you decide on a class, its hard to sit through a course no matter how interesting if the teacher is an idiot.

Cheers - will check it out

The working link is 3rd post down 

As mentioned Moonfleet / Delboy's Garage has some handy vids to watch, but there are a wealth of helpful other DIY vids on YouTube. Keepvid http://keepvid.com/ is a handy copy/paste tool to save any vids you like.

Cheers & all the best with the new Iron.

Slap.

Jye im working on a few things to boost my knowledge of how these bikes come apart and go back together. I used to throw tools at all my sports bikes but for some reason the enigma that is Harley is a different kind of animal.

Perhaps we can catch up once ive got my act together soon and work on it together.

 

A coupla years back I found a DVD 'How to service your Softail' (or words to that effect) in my local Library. True story, who'da thought the Library would have stuff like that?

Check 'em out.
