Speak to the dealership, maybe they can work with you on another choice. It's only a week old.

The shift levers on a Harley touring bike are not meant to be able to fit your foot in between the two shifters. That's just the way it works.

The seat could have been modified for ya by Mean City Cycles I bet for much cheaper than a new seat. All stock Harley audio is crap. I'll give you that. Good luck with the radio.

...read the subject and thought it might be Jax Teller again. It's all good.

Did you not test ride the bike before your purchase that would have pointed out a few of these issues?

I would have to question the sanity of buying a $30,000 bike that "didn't fit" just because you always wanted a Harley

Yeah I agree.... You liked your previous Japanese bike and the Victory fit you like a glove but you forgone both those options and instead plunked down 30 large for a bike that didn't fit you and obviously didn't test ride just for the sake of owning a Harley??

I'm thinking the same thing here. The 'fit' part should have been caught on the test ride. Boom box issue can show up anytime and should be under warrenty. Hope you get it sorted out, OP.

The dealer lets you test ride a bike if you are interested in it.
