Default Will adding stretched fender, bags, tank= Void Warranty?

I assume pipes do not, but I am considering a new road glide and am curious if doing what I want will void the warranty. If so I will not pay for a new one and I will get a used one.

Thanks

they will tell you that pipes and ac and tuner will and they will probably tell you that the other stuff will, i know they will probably not cover anything or issues you have with those add on tins unless you buy them new from that dealer.

and the other problem is you will find its all in the dealer you go to how customer friendly and willing to help they are one will tell you one thing and the next another one will say your covered and follow up and back up there word the other will **** you plain and simple.

Technically, if you read the Magnussen Moss Warranty Act....they can't void the warranty unless a modification is "directly related" to the failure.

So if you change the saddle bags, fenders or exhause and you twist a tranny main shaft (it's very rare.....but I did it on a bike years ago) and they say the warranty is voided because you made these mods then you'd

have legal recourse and probably wouldn't have to hard of a time finding an attorney to take the case.

But do you want to go through those changes......nobody does.

So if you've got a dealership that's notorius for telling customers that there warranty is voided because they added a tuner, exhaust, air cleaner, even cams then it's time to find another dealership to do business with.

I've been doing mods for 20 years and have never heard of mods being an issue. Just be sure, if you do motor mods that you're having it dyno tuned by somebody that really knows what they're doing and then be sure to keep a copy of it. That dyno sheet could very well become your tool of defense in a civil suit you've filed against a dealership.

I would say the only issue you may run into is if the wiring/lights have been changed.Those may not be covered.
