Hey Dude. I know how mechanically inclineded you are so I would do two things. First as you have indicated, call around and get a firm quote on changing that Stator. Also, it's winter time, per se, and see if they are running any specials on labor and such. Second, read over the manual and seach the forums and see if this is something that you can really do on your own. I know your worried about getting the bike back home. Push comes to shove rent a U-Haul garden trailer and bring it home with the Xterra. Remember, if you end up going to another dealership you're either going to have to drive it there or trailer it there. You can also see the dealership will pick up your bike. Back here in good ole Pgh where its now freezing, Hot Metal will send out their driver to pickup a bike they are going to repair.
Last, pull out your camera Dude and put up a picture of your bike on you Signature. You've done a really nice conversion job on it so show it off.

Sorry to ask...I just purchased a like new 2006 UC. Would this bike be part of the regulator recall mentioned? Bike only has 4,400 miles on it. Dash gauge seems to be at 14v or so all the time. No issues far as I see. I got the bike from a very good friend who hardly rode it as he's got 2 more HD's.
He did just replace the battery this past summer when we began riding. Again no issues, but he never did the Harmon/Karden upgrade - I did that recently to the firmware - so I'm wondering IF this bike had the recall on it he likely never took it in.
SOOO long story/short - if I gave you the VIN would you be willing to check? If not ok.
THANKS!

Wow that oil looks like sludge, I have never seen oil look like that before. You sure they didn't add anything to it before they took it apart? If not than I wouldn't be using that oil anymore. Redline is a good product and I have used it in various bikes. But like I said I have never seen anything like that, it almost looks like kids paint....
