First off, I would trust the dealers tech simply because he has more time to assemble the bike than they do at the factory and he knows if it is not perfect it is all on him. So that part should be a dead issue. Extended warranty? They will start 2 year warranty coverage on the new frame and swingarm the day you get it back, standard practice for most items. Entend the warranty on the entire bike? Never going to happen and you are not realistic to request it. As far as having an 11 year old on the back 20% of the time, stupid idea. You know as well as anyone that motorcycling is a dangerous thing to do, no matter how safe you are, it's usually the other people that cause accidents. I wouldn't have my child on the bike no longer than a ride around the block. Anytime you have a passenger you are putting their life in your hands and I don't see any reason to risk your child's life. I was t-boned by a car coming off a side street 2 years ago, and if I had a passenger that passenger would be dead, think about that. I'll say it again, STUPID IDEA.
