Getting my new Valk caught up

[Ferris Leets]

I've had this I/S for about a month now.  No previous history so I've been doing everything I can think of to get the maintainence caught up(30K miles).  New oil, oil/air filter, front brakes, inspected rear brakes, fixed air horns(installer put the fuse after the compressor), full inspection of tires/wheels.  Complete brake fluid change(looked like coffee), found bolt rubbing on rear tire, cut that shorter. Did the Themostat ingnition control mod, with control knob.  Changed out timing belts.  Complete tune up-carbs synch & adjust, valve adjust, spark plugs inspected, Ran on Dyno to check.  Replaced levers with adjustable levers.
Too do list includes clutch fluid, add buzzer for turn signals, remove and reinstall left shock (it is on backwards), replace rear end oil.

Any suggestions on things I also need to check/replace/adjust.

Sounds like you covered most things but I didn't see any mention of one of the most important things lubing the rear splines? Need to take the rear out and check the drive shaft and while your at it check the universal.

Try putting a few thousand miles on it, that's the best one I can think of.

It's fairly obvious by the things that you've done that you lack practical experience.   Don't fret, I'm here to help. Allow me to send my '01 Interstate to you so that you can do all those things you mentioned to it!  I also bought it with around 30K miles on it. Ha! Just kidding of course. Sounds like you're a much better wrench than I am.
It's interesting to read your list. I guess I didn't even know that you could put a shock on backwards. I've never had mine completely off. How does one tell? I need to remove the nut cage from the rear fender so I may as well do the rear spline lube while I'm at it. How difficult is that?

The adjustment marks on on the inside, you can't see them.
  The spline thing shouldn't be to hard, the worst part looks to me like getting the rear tire off to do it.

Oh, makes sense. I would have noticed the adjustement marks being wrong right off.  On the interstate they really can only be one place, otherwise you'd have to take the bags off to adjust them. Actually, you dang near need to take them off to adjust them anyway.

Guy, seems you have covered a "lot " of bases. Might be a little "over kill" in some places. But , better to be safe than sorry.  Good luck and enjoy.

Wal Mart sells Pennzoil Marine lower unit gear lube. It's 75Wx90 (synthetic) with the GL5 rating Honda requires. 32 OZs will do about 5-6 changes.

Search the board for "hydrolock". It'll scare the crap out of you. You might want to do a petcock rebuild, or do what I did this past weekend - install an electric fuel shutoff valve. Might as well install a fuel line quick-connect while you're in there.  Do the valve and you'll become intimately familiar with the joys  of airbox removal/replacement.  Dag's video on the use of cable ties was a big help, but it was still a b*tch.

The adjustment holes go all the way around.  I could adjust them if I needed to but, I have no way of telling what they are adjusted too.
I read about the hydrolock and have been shutting of the petcock at night.  The petcock seems to work correctly but, it sounds like a real disaster if it should fail.
Not sure what you think is overkill.  The things I did give me peace of mind and a bench mark mileage/age for maintaince from now on.
