So I let the fork oil drain for a couple days

Installed to torque spec the new drain plugs


Measure out spec amount of fluid


Funnel to the top of the fork & pour in


With 15,500 miles on my Ultra, the dealership mechanic was surprised I was on the original brake pads. He said, most people only get 10k out of them. I figure my amount of miles is due to my road trips on the highway.

I'm always amazed by how little pad material is actually on new pads. But they are suppose to be 4.5mm or bigger. Mine were 1.8 - 2.9mm.




It's always a nice feeling to get some good preventative maintenance done to the bike. All that is left to do is get & hang exhaust.
