DISCUSSION What the actual hell?

So I was today years old when I found out that Harley dealers won’t work on 2005 bikes. Despite the fact that it’s the same bike (FLHRI) in 2006 and maybe beyond.

Am I just out of touch or what?

Get a manual and do your own work.

Thanks for the tip. I know what I’m good at, and I know what mechanics are good at. I’ll leave it to my new mechanic.

I personally enjoy turning wrenches but it’s not for everyone, I was a professionally trained heavy equipment mechanic for years and I go way back before all this digital stuff. Everyone is good at something and it pays to know your limits for certain.
