No problems at all. They even washed it.

Yes, I had a dealer about 80 miles away pick up one of my bikes for some additions. No problems. It was a good service and all at no charge as long as I waited until they had more pick-ups in my area.

Idid this recently and it worked out fine,in fact it benefits the rider and the dealer.He doesn't have to lay off his mechanics and you don't have to tie your bike up during the busy season so you can ride more.

I had it done once for my Sporty when the oil tank exploded (condensation formed an ice plug in the oil line causing the motor to act like a compressor till it popped, thank God I wasn't sitting on it at the time) and once for my Streetbob due to an electrical short. No probs either time. They have a reeeeeal low, enclosed trailer.

I would trust the dealer to pick it up before I trust my self to load it and tie it up...

No problems with my dealer (Paradise Tigard Oregon) As pointed out, they know how to handle abike properly,and are setup totie it down properly. I don't give it a second thought when they have come topick it up, or deliver it back

ORIGINAL: deadman77

My local dealer is running specials on labor now. It pretty cold and crappy here in Illinois, and the dealer will pickup AND deliver it back for no charge. Enclosed trailer.
I am having them put on a rear tire and reduced effort clutch.
Should I be concerned about the transport?
The upside is I have no down time during prime riding season.

My stealer doestoo like others have stated. I was out there in my cage, b/c it was raining a few months back. I only went to getthis Baghdad HDpatch my brother in law sent me fromIraq sewed on my jacket and the patch lady was set up out there ... of course the keg beer is free too . I ran across thisblack05 ultra .. well, that bikekept calling my name, and after sittin on it a few times.. they let me test ride that ultra in the intermittant drizzlin freezin a$$ cold rain.Few minutesafter I got back and warmed up andwe're in a big ford pullin a trailer to my place to get my dyna for trade in andits probly 29 miles one way. After all the ppwk is done they load my ultra up, and follow me in my cage back out to my place to drop us off.

pretty cool IMHO and yes .. I'm sure I'm paying for it somewhere.. but it sure as hell beats a sharp stick in the eye, or being treated like they alreadythink yer a pennyless bum lookin for thecan (c:
