All this talk about racks and bra's. I thought I was in the Showdown forum for a sec.

 

The dealers do blow alot of steam about towing trailers and warranties. I don't have a wire harness on my bike and my cooler rack is usually always on, with a lock pin on it. You could also remove your harness before you took it in if that was an issue, but just because there's a hitch on it doesn't mean you pull a trailer. How many cars & trucks are out ther with hitches that don't get used? Mine is at the dealer right now getting BB done and I left the rack on it. They all like it at the dealer but I have the key to the lock, so I know it will be on there when I get the machine back.
