How to Prep Your Classic Harley Motorcycle For Winter

The basics are much the same. A dedicated owner will want to protect the motorcycle inside and out from any form of damage over the winter months.   In general, here is a quick check list of what to do before parking your classic Harley for the winter: STEP 1. Ride to a nearby gas station and fill up your gas tank with fresh gas. Add some fuel stabilizer and ride home at least a few miles to give the stabilizer the chance to mix with the gas and work its way through the fuel system and into the carburetor. This ride also warms up the motorcycle and all the fluids in the engine and transmission. STEP 2. Once home drain the warm oil out of the engine and the separate transmission. Refill it with fresh oil of the proper weight. Leaving old oil inside the engine could cause etching in the metal by the acids and water build up that develop in the old oil over time. STEP 3. Wash the motorcycle thoroughly from one end of the other. Any dirt or grease left on the metal can trap moisture which can damage the finish and cause rust. After washing be sure to dry it thoroughly and cover all metal parts - painted, chrome or raw - with a coat of auto wax and polish it as much as possible. This is one more layer of protection from the elements. Cover the ends of the exhaust pipes so small critters can't crawl in and make a nest in your pipes.

2010 Honda Shadow RS vs. 2010 Harley-Davidson 883 Low

These motorcycles are about cruising. They’re about unfettered riding down the open road like simpler bikes did in a nearly bygone era. Right?

Well, it’s also true the Sportster originally represented cutting edge performance, and was raced through the years. Today, after receiving a life-enhancing Evolution engine implant in 1986, it lives on as the legend that it is. It’s kind of like an old champion horse that’s out to pasture but still a joy to behold, and well able to entertain riders at a less-brisk pace.

2011 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Comparison

The Street Glide trailed the pack in the power and entertainment categories.

When it comes time to rock the tunes the Harmon Kardon stereo puts out pretty well in terms of sound quality, but it’s easy to over drive the fairing-mounted speakers by adding too much bass. Waheed had both the bass and treble set to 11 and there was some distortion. Bring the levels down from Spinal Tap proportions and the sound is crisp and clean. In terms of features the Street Glide’s dash mounted stereo is missing some important capabilities such as satellite radio and iPod connectivity. There is an auxiliary jack to plug in your MP3 player or stand-alone satellite system, but in this day and age it should all be right there and ready to go. Still, it’s light years ahead of Star’s half-assed attempt at a stereo.
