Default Enricher **** broke

The dealership is 117 miles from here. What really frosts me is that I wasAT the dealership today on my way to a rally. Did it break before or while I was at the dealer? NOOOOO...it waits until I'm running an errand this evening.[sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif][sm=headbang.gif]

I had a nice chrome cover on mine. I want to stick with chrome. I've heard of folksusing cabinet handles and epoxing them on. Anyone else have any cool chrome ideas? It is just not worth the hassle of a warranty claim. It will probably break in another year again anyway.

I think Harley needs a lesson in strength of materials.[>:]

I broke the one off on the Custom. Why in the hell would they make something that evertime you ride your going to use out of plastic?

Just glad the 07 FI's don't have them, one less thing to replace.

Hey girl, it just might be worth a warranty claim. Believe it or not, you can't just replace the stupid little plastic ****. They have to replace the entire enricher cable. Trust me on this one, it's the only warranty claim I've ever successfully made. I suspect that chrome **** is a contributor. I also had that on mine when it broke. I haven't yet re-installed it, but I think I will.

Mine broke as well. The cable broke. It is a $10 part at the dealer. You might want to order one online and change it yourself.

I broke mine as well.The threads on the plastic behind the mounting bracket got stripped.It wouldn't stay open on it's own. It was $12.20 from the dealer and .20 hr of labor.They replaced the entire cable not just the ****.
