I've seen that they need a valve adjustment job after so many miles. Is there other expensive routine maintenance involved?

I think I was mostly thinking of the valve adjustment, but I found the full mx schedule here:

Here's my heap!
2009 HD Road Glide w/HeadQuarters 107" build.
All of the ideas and work was done by me.
EVERY nut & bolt has been changed to polished stainless 12 pt...over $2000 worth.
Pioneer head unit, Arc Audio amp, monster magnet Titan speakers, XM, zumo550 GPS
Ride Wright Fat 50 spoke wheels, custom powdercoated

Pics aren't up to date. There has been more done since these pics.

Gear? Whatever I'm wearing when I walk out the door to ride. Typically jeans & T.

HAHAHA! Just noticed...3rd pic, just left of front tire. That's my skull bucket on the sidewalk.

Man, that color combo is pretty wild! Looks nice! Is that Road Glide or an Electra?

It's a Road Glide.
BEST touring model built.

That color is actually factory for 2008 & 2009.
It's called Mirage Orange Pearl.

Pics were taken on side of road in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and my garage.

Older pics, I haven't ridden in about 5yrs now (my choice).

Just picked up a used 2015 Night Rod special a couple weeks ago. So nice to be back on a bike, and this one is way more comfortable than the tiny little crotch rockets I used to race...

I LOVE it, but sounds like a fucking sewing machine at idle. You have no idea how hard it is to save my money instead of buying pipes for it.

This is the first project Alex and I collaborated on. It's a S4R Monster. Lowered (correctly) 2", stretched swingarm 3". The rear wheel is a Marchesini but we had it widened to 8". We built the exhaust. It's actually 996 ti cans cut down and stuffed under there. It had I think a 220 rear tire. High comp pistons, SPS cams and note the nitrous bottles on the forks. There is trick stuff all over it. We actually went to subtle.

Like the muffler setup!

Thanks, that was my goofy plan.

As soon as I started to post pictures of the bike I had a TON of people emailing me wondering if I could make them one too. Sure, no problem. $5000. The swingarm had to stretch to make the room.

One of only three bike I have had (I've had at least a couple hundred) that I wish I never sold.

Love the looks of the Night Rod. Sat on one last year though and it just didn't feel right. Maybe it's just a matter of spending time with one.

I stopped at the Ducati dealership last week and sat on a Street Fighter. Sitting position looks and feels quite aggressive for a naked/standard? bike. It made me feel a little concerned about its comfort on long rides.

Then I set on an Aprilia RSV4 R. Wow that bike is beautiful. Fell in love with it. The salesmen owns an Aprilia Tuono and spoke very highly of it. We'll see what this ends up in.

I've ridden half a dozen different Harleys and as many street bikes and this is the nicest fit for just cruising. Wouldn't be fun on a road trip or racing, but great for a commute or just a short ride. Handles really well too, I've already managed to start scraping the pegs

I'll teach you how to scrape the floorboards on a dresser when you get the 'nads to try.

Lol, I used to race street bikes around the track, so I got all the scraping I need for a while done then.

Dresser = 850 lbs.
Crotch Rocket = 400 lbs.

WHOLE different world.
LOL



BTW...nice bike. Now all you need to do is convert it to a Road Rod.

The Night Rod Special is 666lbs, and no, I didn't make that up. My R6 was about 420lbs in track dress. Not a huge difference considering they make about the same power, but still one nonetheless.

And Ewwwwwww. I would never do that to my bike.

I would much rather do something along these lines:
