Even though you're buying a car from out of state, you'll pay the sales tax to the state in which you'll register the car—i.e. your home state. ... Your state's motor vehicle agency will advise you on specific sales taxes; however, some states provide tax calculators online for extra convenience.

Is it possible that you have been speaking to the wrong person at the dealership? Collecting and keeping excess sales taxes is a serious matter. Neither Louisiana nor Utah would be happy if that was the case. The dealer knows this. My suggestion would be to try to speak to the GM, failing that, send him a registered letter. You'll get your money back.

Op,
if you took delivery of the bike in Louisiana then tax, by statue, is due on delivery in the state of delivery.
The fact that the out of state dealer remitted or facilitated the tax amount in ykur home state is of little concern.
the difference you seek for refund, is not due and in fact has a high probability of being paid to the state of Louisiana if the bike was delivered there.
if you bought tbe bike online and had it shipped to Utah then delivery bevomes even more of a challenge being that it could be based on the shipping terms, the sales contract, the transportation company, etc.
You generally need to understand these items before signing the sales contract otherwise you could miss out on a opportunity.
i learned as you have the hard way during my late 20s, on a car transaction in California.
Buyer beware is definitely the watch word if you are not versed in multi state transactional contracts

That dealership seems to have really gone down-hill since the current owner took over a couple of years ago -- I've heard/read (Facebook) lots of adverse comments from former customers and members of former (now defunct) HOG chapter. Personally, I'll go in and drink their coffee, eat their food, but don't think I would buy a bike there.
I would echo the advice to contact the State Attorney General, if for no other reason than to get an accurate read of the law.
