I wasn't happy seeing how the two come together and I would have paid less without security. The next day I called the dealer up and they told me they ran the vin# and that it didn't come with security only abs, BULLSHIT! I called HD and to make a long story short I had to call the dealer back and show them the error of their ways. Now when they get the security system in I've got to drive all the way back there to have it installed no charge of course. And to think they're hoping for a good review from me. I think they should have known their product better. And I think they owe me maybe some in store credit for the inconvenience. Needless to say this isn't the dealer I would return to for sevice.

If you don't know what you're buying because you didn't do your due diligence, then stuff like that is gonna happen. You're bound to trip and fall if you walk around blind.

financing and monthly notes are not what make a good deal. the bottom line is whats important. hell, you could have gone out to 84 months and dropped your note even more, but do you want to be paying on that bike for the next 7 years?

The only issue is you have to go back to the dealer to have it done, again at no cost to you right? So use the trip down there as an excuse to put some miles on, have a nice lunch with your wife or gf and just enjoy the day out.
