that i agree with, but most people aren't going to be able to split the case and repair it.

i would pull the motor and tear it down then just bring in the case have them fix it and put it back together, should get the price down to a few hundred bucks at most.

Bike is out of warranty as you state, doesn't matter if it is one day or one month. Yeah it would be nice if MoCo did something but they are not. The dealership is doing you right with only charging 1200 for the teardown to reseal the cases.

If this is your last HD, too bad you are giving them up. Suppose you could do do it more quickly if you sold the bike now with the problem noted. You would take a bit of a hit on the sale, but you would be out from under ALL payments and you could move on to something more to your liking.

Harleys don't leak, they mark their territory.

When I brought my new dyna home the first thing it did was mark it's spot in the garage

It is out of warranty. You are too whiney to own a Harley. Sell it, and buy something made out of fiberglass and plastic.

Holy ******* ****.

So you bought a used Harley, modofied it, and now you blame Harley for not fixing a problem that came up after the warranty ran out.

You can't be ******* serious!
