I'm in the both category. if it's under warranty or involves opening the motor or if I'm pressed for time, they do it.

if it's basic/fun/have lots of time/ or I just feel like I want to try it i'll do it. brakes,chains,oil,tires,exhaust,intake etc i can do all that easily enough.

Not that this is going to help win anybody over on the HD band wagon. But take note, its not just oil changes.

Also, the 2500 intervals are optional. HD doesn't recommend them but the dealer does if you dont run synthetic oil.
Too bad aside from the oil change, they just look things over and change a few seals and o-rings.

I understand what you're saying, but at the same time, even at 100 dollars an hour the 150k mile service should take at the most three hours. And that's with two quadripilegic techs working on it.
