Mother's Day Ride 535 miles!

Took a Mother's Day ride to Missouri this weekend.  535 miles.  The Electraglide rode great!  Runs perfect, and rides very smooth.  After a year and 7,000+ miles on a Sportster, its GREAT!  Got in a few rain drops once, for about 1 minute!  Otherwise it was a nice weekend.  Ordered a parts catalog and service manual for it today.  I think I will need to replace the clutch soon, and also need to check the timing chain tensioners.  They are a know weak spot, and tend to wear out around 25K miles.  I have about 23,500 now, so will be looking into that soon.  Neither are hard fixes, should be fun to do in the garage over a weekend.  I haven't had this bike up on the lift yet.  Its not much heavier, and not any heavier than the Sporty and I together, and I had been on it, up on the table several times working on things.  Now if the weather will clear up maybe I can go get some nice pics to post soon......
