I guess warrenty means nothing to a guy like you......seeing as the manufacturer can void warrenty if they deem that the product(s) being used DO NOT meet their specifications (mainly oil and filters) and if they are the cause of the engine failure. Man what a boob......

Bike is going in for broken fairing brackets and front tire this week, just wondering if anyone has the same issue and or what they did to get rid of the noise.....I also have a 2010 Street Glide and that thing is as quiet as a mouse, no valvetrain noise what so ever...engine are all built the same, same parts, but some are noisier than others, so I've been told by HD.....but this very loud clacking noise shouldn't be considered normal....any suggestions?
