I love my bike, but issues are issues.

obviously they need parts to sell for profit (stage kits), and improvements to keep people upgrading down the road (oem 107 to 114 to 117 etc). We all know this. That's why we get a stock detuned 107 now and 5 years from now we will see a bulletproof stage 4 107/114 as standard. Basic business.

we also have to remember that bike sales are down in general, people my age are having a hard time making a stable homestead, let alone have toys like a bike, and they just paid out the **** for the EPA issues. Not to mention r&d and manufacturing cost to comply with the newer standards a few years away. They arent going to blow the whistle on themselves, imo. We wont know from them what the problem was for years I dont think. It'll either get fixed over night at some point and just stop being a problem quietly, or someone will be a whistle blower. Be it aftermarket or someone inside the moco etc. Again, just my opinion. Hope it works out dude. If you need anything around DC/ Baltimore during your trip, remember you got forum friends all over the place!

Now Harley has to go through the long process of investigating the failure before they will even ship a new motor to the dealership. Super bummed and disappointed that I traded in 2 perfectly good 2017 bikes with the screaming eagle 110's for what I thought was the best Harley money could buy. Lol.
