That sucks man, for all the **** thay have put you through already they just decided to cut you loose. It is not that hard to make your customers happy (in your case, a new motor), too bad all HD cares about these days is selling new bikes and $300 pairs of jeans.

Take it to em! And ride that loaner bike like it's stolen!

I would contact a local TV stations trouble shooting reporter.Here in Cleveland,all 4 major stations have these reporters that try to help people that are being screwed over by some big company.Usually the problems get fixed quick,because the company doesn't want all the bad publicity going out over the TV networks

Don't give up on this yet man, you've been riding HD's your whole life. Get that lawyer to work on these clowns, they're just pushing you around cause they think you're just going to let it slide........DON'T let it slide, this is utter bullshit in it's purest form. They installed the parts, then they get to fix the problem!

+1 on this. Get your story out to as many people as possible. Spread the word, especially in your local area. The dealership won't want their name all over the news with a bad rap and may help you out a little. As far as those suggesting a lawyer, I doubt that will help much unless they put it in writing that they would cover any damages caused by aftermarket additions. Mostly that's what they tell you at the counter when you buy the stuff, then when it comes down to an issue, it's hard to prove who said what.

If all else fails, I agree with the guy's who say rebuild with aftermerket non MOCO parts and make her badder than the MOCO ever could. Then send the MOCO some pics and a nice thanks, but no thanks letter, and let them know your relationship is over.

But, as in anything, it always takes two sides. I just wonder why your dealer's service manager made this decision. They know the warranty and Magnuson-Moss as well or better than people on an internet forum. And with all the money that you've thrown at that bike, they know that you're the kind of customer to keep. So, again, what is their reason for this decision?

You can also appeal to the MoCo directly. The dealer, after all, is an agent to your contract (warranty) with the MoCo.

Have you contacted anyone there directly?

Let the lawyers deal with it. The dealer, MoCo and all other parties have been notified of legal action.

Try contacting H.D. head office via e-mail, and leave a paper trail.
