The other issue I have with the whole thing is; Given the preponderance of evidence, why does Harley persist in denying warranty claims, and/or getting some engineers that are maybe just a little bit smarter to design and develop their parts. I know all the basic reasons. I just don't get it.

Pull on my clutch lever. As soft as stock. HD could make them like that. I can't imagine the hyd is much softer. It's about $$$. Plus mine is good to about 160 hp.

It is all about the ALMIGHTY DOLLAR!!!


I remember when I worked for Ford in the paint shop. The plant manager was down in the QC area of paint. We wood knock a car down because there was a big piece of dirt in the door or something. He wood tell us to ship it and when we said we can't he told up that it cost us $800.00 to repaint a car and cost the dealership $175.00 to repaint the door! SHIP IT!!!!!!!!!

Don't think that's another recall....I read that as a letter explaining that the warranty on the clutch system is extended to 4 years, because of the problems.
.....unless I missed something......

As I said, "basic reasons." They won't have any shares to hold if they keep this crap up.

I assume everyone here saw the "jiffy stand" thread?

Didn't read the whole thing. They should extend the whole warranty!

No I didn't but wasn't excited when I saw how they designed Dina's kickstand on her Dyna.

His speech took a giant leap last year and that ****** tablet doesn't get used anymore though he still has a ways to go to be on level with his peers. My princess...hers was a delay then she had a giant leap and now it is a matter of working on some specific sounds. Both are smart....devious at times, cute (which make me question if they are really mine. ) and ornery (Which convinces me they are mine).
