Myth that aftermarket partsvoids warranties
I see lots of posts where people are worried about their warranty. Harley Davidson actually promotes customization, that is one of the hallmarks of the company.
Under the Magnuson-Moss Act, aftermarket equipment which improves performance does not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty.
A dealer must prove that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before he can deny warranty coverage on that basis. To challenge a false claim, ask the dealer to put it in writing. If they refuse to give you a written statement, this is a violation of Federal law. The Federal Trade Commission , which administers the Magnuson-Moss Act, monitors compliance with warranty issues. Direct your dealer complaints to the FTC at (202) 326-3128.
Hope this helps and clarify you question about customizing your ride using aftermarket parts.

My understanding of the stance Harley Davidson and the EPA have taken has nothing to do with performance, broken parts etc. The dealer or company won’t and if you do something that will alter the emissions of your 2017 bike they will not work on it whether under warranty or not. They don’t care what broke or what caused it, screw with the emissions system and you are on your own as far as for engine/components. Of course if something like your speedometer stops working that will be covered. Harley has the EPA behind them, they're not worried about going to court over it.

Sounds like Op bought a new bike and wants to replace parts and keep warranty. Guys tend to forget that exhaust,air cleaner and tune is emissions and cant and will not be warrantied if replace or altered with especially now the EPA is involved. People misunderstand the MM Act all the time
