Seems that would make a good Article.

Oh wow !

Very good idea to summarize all that to create a maintenance priority guideline document. The included links pointing to various forum thread to go deeper are also a good plus.

Thanks to all contributor for your time and efforts.

I will print it, study it religiously and keep it with my Bible.
My maintenance bible, that is.

Great information! Thanks! Always good to know what to look for down the road. Mine wasn't neglected too much, but it did sit quite a bit and when it was rode it was obvious tire pressures weren't a concern.

I'm sorry guys, @Andrew made some changes/additions to the file and I deleted the old file and uploaded the new file. However, in doing so, I managed to botch the job. It should be there now (Jun 11, '21, 10:40 AM).

I have to thank my collaborators. As I read some of the newer threads of problems guys are having with old bikes, and check this Article to add a maintenance procedure, I repeatedly find that one of us has included said 'addition' from the get go.

Good information. I think the hose was seeping a bit before I lifted the tank. There was a faint smell of gas in the garage. I have a 1997 Valkyrie as well that's been overhauled along with a 2000 Millenium LE Road Star.
