Thanks to all of you for your advice! I think I have found a middle of the road alternative! One of the benefit of the military on this installation (ft campbell) is an auto crafts shop. They have hydrolic lifts AND instructors there in case I need help. Saves me a little $$ and I still get to say I did it myself! I just left NAPA with the gold filter and Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30 oil... i'm off!
Thanks again for ALL your support!

In all seriousness about Walmart, you can buy a 5 Qt jug of Mobile One at Walmart for under $21. They are the only one that carry the larger size.

Hey Jen,
We should be coming for the WONZA, we were there last year but only for the picnic. We were part of those "old people" standing around in the food line as the bikes came back in.
Oh yes, I remember Greg.

Who could forget Greg!? What a small world! We'll have to make sure we drive "Lola" (that's my baby's name) to the picnic this year! It's not a Harley, but it's prettier! --and safer on 41a!! See you in a few months!
