The first service will get the metal out of the engine from the rings starting to set in to the cylinders, tranny gears... I have just noticed a considerably improvement at 1500 miles, engine is breaking in, all components wearing in well, from bushings, bearings, suspension and yes the performance has improved, really a pleasure to ride.
I did 100 miles through the twisties non-stop and rode her like a sport bike... smoked a new Harley like a cheap cigar, smiling all the way.
I talked to my dealer yesterday about any performance improvement mods available. He stated exhaust and a tune would get me more exhaust noise but really no improvement in performance. I am happy with the bike stock and I have always been the guy that spent 2-3 K on all my HD's and all my other bikes but this one I'm totally happy and will wait for a long time, there will be several solid options down the road in my opinion that will be better than what is currently available.
I even like the exhaust, the slash cut you can hear and love the ease of chain adjustment.
I really enjoy seeing all the mods that have been made so far, but you have to admit the Bobber is so cool, even more so for us older guys.
I will do my oil and filter change soon along with a chain lube and adjustment. At 1500 miles I'm still good on chain slack but I prefer slightly loose than slightly tight, on my chain adjustments of course. :laugh:
