Looking for 2008 fxdc anv owners

[NEWHD74FAN]

Hi Mel,
My FXDC although a joy had an issue with valve noise and was cured by using a after market oil pressure spring . When I took it to the dealer they told me it was my jiffy stand and it was fixed. WRONG! I now need (badly) the 1k service and get no reply from three of the dealers in my local area of Connecticut. The fourth dealer is where I bought the bike but they are the farthest away and truthfully I don't like the ride there. Guess I should of thought of that when I made the purchase.
Mods? I changed the risers 1" up and 2" back a Mustang solo seat, Rush mufflers are on the way ( slash down w/1.75 baffles) as is a tank mod to raise the front 2" for (imo) better styling , cooling . Have you done any mods to yours or are you happy with the stock setup? ~ Nels

HD FAN , I just ran across this post and felt a need to reply.
Buyers remorse? No! Just uhappy with a lousy diagnosis of my problem. I did find and fix the problem myself and have never been back to the dealer again. I am and have been a Harley owner/builder for a number of years and fixing one isn't a problem although I had to learn about ECU;s and FI but coming through the ranks with flat head, knuckles, pans, and shovels and skipping the evo and going to a twinkie, I have a working knowledge of the twin. BUT.. thank you for the information , this is what I like about the brotherhood ,biker helping biker.
In Fl now from Ct. for Bike week. ride safe
