It is actually pretty normal for car and bike dealerships to not do major motor rebuilds. It has nothing to do with thier abilitys and every thing to do with the time involved. That tech might take 2 or 3 days to that one job when in the same time he could service maybe 5 to 15 other customers.
My dealer in the UK has no issues pulling the motor down I think you need to find another dealer to do the work for you, after all you should have enough of them in the states

I am about to tear my motor down with a rod bearing noise and thought just for the hell of it I'd call the local HD place to see what they would charge to go through the crank case.They told me to take it to a machine shop that they couldn't do it.I thought to myself, WTF.It says on they're web site that they have over 100 yrs. combined experience.Sounds like to me they're a bunch of dumb asses.

After reading just the 1st few post's in this thread I'm thinking I'd like to open a small shop and just work on pre TC bikes. Can't believe the dealers won't do major work on the anything over 10 years old.
Problem is I don't think there are enough Evo's, Shovels and older around here to support such a shop.
I think it's bullshit that Dealerships won't work on the older stuff. I assume they get most of there wrench's from MMI and the like. When I went to MMI I took a course in "Early Model" Back then it covered Pans, Knucks, and Flatheads. Shovels were still part of the regular curriculum. That was in the late 80's.

I've been wonderin' where all of the Evo's got off to. At least five years ago, I was at a toy run where there was over 500 Harleys. I walked the parkin' lot for a couple of hours, and only counted five Evo's way back then! I still think they are a very fine engine, and wish I still had one!
