Default a little help after my first service 08 fatboy

I picked up my&nbsp\\;08 fatboy tonight after its 1000 mile 1600 KM service and noticed that the clutch lever lets off much later than before. too much later I think???
Also&nbsp\\;it idles is much higher than it did. Is this normal?
They sure are slobs. I found grease&nbsp\\;or oil on my pipes&nbsp\\;and grips and a small scratch on my left mirror glass. Not cool. I am wondering if I should say something. I picked it up after hours.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I am happy about one thing though. They did a&nbsp\\;steering bearing adjustment and my wobble&nbsp\\;I had between&nbsp\\;60&nbsp\\;and 80 KM is gone and the bike rides much more true. Seems to be a common issue with Harley?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks for any advice
&nbsp\\;
Liam

So adjust the clutch yourself to where it feels right to you and go work over the dealer.

I feel the bike should be just as clean or cleaner than when you dropped it off. +1 on the clutch

The main thing is that you got your wobble sorted out and that your happy and safer. The clutch you could adjust, but for customer service, they should take care of you. It's not good for businesses to **** off customers, who would in turn go somewhere else and through word of mouth could pretty much send the place into receivership. We pay a lot as it is, service should be top notch. Then, thats just me. My wife would have demanded the manager!
