I traded in my 2016 softail deluxe thinking I was getting something better, if they keep losing customers maybe they will get it and start caring about customers.
You’re not alone.

So u have bought 4 harleys and have had trouble with all 4 or just this one? When u can have the vent put in under warranty and its seems to be the fix. I can understand why u wanted full pop back on the bike. Have fun on the goldwing.

Don't wait, you should do it now while you have the least amount of depreciation on the HD and it is still under warranty. Being able to sell a bike that is still under warranty is a big plus that a buyer will consider. Unfortunately if you look on any of the motorcycle sales websites you will see many HD's and their prices are depressed. The GW is a bike you can keep for years and miles and not have to return to the dealer for anything other than routine scheduled maintenance if you are not one to do your own.

Nope ! Not going to happen. Their sales are just about half what it used to be and still falling, and the reason is because of customers like you. Completely dissatisfied, love to ride, and purchase another make of motorcycle, because you work to hard to pi$$
your money away on something that sits in the shop all the time. I feel your pain.

27,000 miles on my 2016, still on the stock shocks. No complaints from me.

I thought you were leaving?

Try working on a 2018 Goldwing or even simple as changing air filter it requires to have so much Tupperware removed you would wish to have Tupperware sales party so you won't have to deal with it ever again.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out -- too many whiners.

That is why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors, you can't please everyone with just one flavor....or brand of motorcycle. It doesn't make one brand better or worse, just what you have a taste for, and tastes do change through life.

So let me understand the thinking here. Harley’s cratering sales and guys are telling current Harley owners to go buy another brand. Yep, that’s going help Harley future sales.
