It changes itself as you drive down the road.... just keep adding more when it leaks... just change filter every few thousand miles as like any Harley

*I think what the previous poster is implying is that your Harley will leak oil out and to just replenish the oil as the level drops. Personally, I wouldn't depend on that method. Think about it, you spend multiple thousands on a piece of machinery, wouldn't you want to take care of it? That would include regular oil/filter changes. For me, I do that every 2500 miles. This insures that the motor has a relatively fresh supply of oil throughout it's life

At least once a year. If you do a lot of short rides or stop and go riding, twice a year.

Where can one find Harley Davidson chrome letters for trucks?

"You can find Harley Davidson ""Chrome"" emblems at online stores like Amazon. However, I would be careful to ensure that you are actually receiving a CHROME emblem. Often times sellers will offer plastic emblems that are covered in a chrome paint. I would probably say that your safest bet would be to go to your local Harley Davidson store and ask them for their Chrome Emblems. If you don't have a local store, then I would just call the nearest store and ask if they would be willing to ship you one. This way you know that you are receiving quality."
