That comparison is just silly (read: stupid). A cracked frame, be it due to a defective fabrication process or faulty materials, is considerably more unsafe than a leaky gasket.

Come on guys. You're arguing just to argue. If it were your frame you'd want it fixed "the right way". That phrase being subjective, perhaps his definition of it differs from yours? You'd be satisfied with a local tech replacing the frame components. He wouldn't. Who cares?


Do you have them? Just curious. /shrug

 

This will be my last update until I get my 2009 FLHTCU back:

Harley and Harley San Jose have gone WAY beyond all my expectations, to this date.

Based on what I have seen in the past 2 days, I have no worries about the Frame and Swing arm swap !

I will post after I get my bike back and put the first 500 miles on her.

Thanks for your posts - well most of them , LOL

See Ya !

 

YAY! Nice to see them doin you right

 

NO EXTRA"S? after all this just a frame swap? good luck ya big crybaby! are they giving you the new frame or the supposed obsolete frame? betcha if you would have started 4 threads instead of just 3 ya might have got a 2010.NOT...glad there taking care of it.

 

Would like to know how the swingarm got involved?? WTF??

 

After reading 21 pages and following this thread, an update was supposed to be given today.

WTF, that is all we get. This is the last post, they have gone far beyond what I expected and I will post 2 months from now when I have ridden 500 miles!!!!!!!!!!!

 

hey Max, he's probably not happy that his plan of starting 3 threads didn't work towards him getting a new bike, just be happy that it's not you getting a bike put together by some dealer. good chance it will never be the same, I don't even trust em to change my oil.

 

i told you it would be fine and that they would take care of you. ride on.

 

Leo, Yeah I saw the vote thread. I was going to comment on that one but figured I wouldn't waste my time.

You are right, I agree it will never be the same!!

 

if you look at the avatars/pics/sigs here half of the clowns with negative comments on a frame replacement by the dealer have modded bikes that were not done by the factory yet their bikes are OK and the one done professionally by a dealer and backed by HD "will never be the same"
