I have a 2001 standard valkyrie and I was hoping someoene had a maintenance guide/program for a valk over 85000 miles now.  I was looking for some type of reminder schedule to prevent problems later in its life.  I know for example the timing belt should be changed again at about 120,000 miles.  I had to get seals changed on the front forks the other day.  It started leaking oil at 85000 miles.
Thank you for your help.

i checked the other day at 73000 the plugs appear to be still in the engine as it does have no trouble starting on the 1st push of the button


otherwise do your rear wheel maintenance every tire change or 10k (if you have a car tire)
 and ride the snot out of your bike

timing belt change is just to make you feel better. Manual says INSPECT at 100k only

but cant fault you for changing a 10 yr old set of belts if you want to
