Regardless of the product, any item is only as good as the worst person making it. Harley has very good quality control but there still will be problems on occasion. It doesn’t matter if you buy a bike, a car, electronics or any other big-ticket item, there unfortunately will be lemons. I recently bought a new $35K truck. It has 1200 miles and it’s been back to the dealer a couple of times for problems. Needless to say, I’m not happy about it. For all I know some hung-over, pissed-off apathetic guy was working the line the day my truck was built and he didn’t give a sh*t if there were problems with it or not. Most products made by reputable companies are very good. Unfortunately most manufacturers don’t proactively fix certain problems unless it directly affects their bottom line. If you get a lemon then fully utilize the warranty. If the problems don’t get resolved then get rid of it.

Hmm no fool, I said those were a few.It is not about the problems, it's about how they are handled.There are plenty more like that in different sections, not just the 2 sections I took them from and not from just the past week either dumby. Amazing how many people can read something and not comprehend what it is they just read. I guess that's why SSI is so popular. Amazing, name calling doesn't make me feel big and tough, different effect on some others I see.

Well, I read the first three of you examples, and decided to read no further. In the first two, the dealers apparently were never even involved, which appeared to me to be the owners choice. The third one had a bunch of guys that had their seats replaced under warranty, with seemingly no issues. Jus tin the first three examples, can you pleas explain to me (other than the fact that the problems came up) how there were handled incorrectly. It seemed to me they weren't really handled at all, by anyone.

You did recommend that the one guy take his back if it did it three times in a row, under the lemon law. You know that it isn't as easy as just asking for your money back, and if I'm not mistaken, the lemon lawsvary (I am correctable on this one)from state to state. At any rate, I was expecting to see a bunch of post showing how the MOCO refused to fix the bike problems in one way or the other. Now, in farness to you, I did not read them all, but I sure expected that you'd bring out your big guns first.

I'm no HD god, or apologist,and I have never blindly skipped over mechanical posts so I could avoid them. I just haven't seen the number of horror stories that I expected to see. Maybe I just have my head in the sand.Sorry for all of youguys that got screwed by HD.
