This is no more than a money making insurance policy for the factory... number one, they have your money earning interest for the one or two years that the FACTORY warranty is in place... after that, they then are relying on actuary tables determining two things.... 1) how long will you own the bike (stats say LESS than 6 years)... 2) what are the warranty issues between two to five years on a bike constantly maintained by the dealer (I'm sure service is mandated in the agreement). If they are 'betting' it's not going to break down in five years if properly maintained, then why should you? I believe all extended warranties are rip offs IF you let the factory maintain the bike through the warranty period and then religiously maintain it yourself for as long as you own it. Keep your 1000 dollars for oil canges and filters every 2500 miles, tires and brake pads and routine maintainance at the dealer, and she'll run forever.

That includes dealer mods. Love the bike, Hate the Company. Never had a Harley that was still in production anyway. Shovelheads Forever!!!!!!!

If they put the pipes on they generally will honnor the warrenty. The dealer decides if the bike is still covered not harley. what I mean is if the dealer sends in a claim then harley will accept it. Best bet is go directly to the service manager of the dealership that did the work and ask him. The dealer I go to told me that as long as I have them do the work, adn I am consistant with them doing maintence, ect. they will work with me on any service warrenty issues,. basicky they will look in their comp to see what work they did, if that work caused the problem in question. even if not they would most likely send in a claim for me. but every dealer is different.
