Your first post was a rant about something that, were you educated before you went out and bought $1000 worth of parts, you wouldnt have done so.
But, hey. You arent going to be here anymore, so, ah, thanks?
Your first day on the forum and your first post is a rant against Harley Davidson what do you expect. Should have introduced yourself in the Welcome area, https://www.hdforums.com/forum/welcome-area-only-4/ read the rules then posted in the correct area. Victim mentality and thin skin. Please fill out the form below and submit it in the proper sub-forum.
so as I'm getting older I've done the last 20 yrs on ultras but I'm done touring. So I trade my 13 ultra on a new 2020 street bob. We are waiting for front controls and I get my stimulus check, sweet!! Imma gonna splurge so I research exhaust and decide on the Bassani 2 into 1 in black with a fuel pac 3 and air leaner, I take all the parts as I figure while we're waiting for the forward controls I'll have them put the new stuff on. I go to do some paperwork and they hand me a waiver saying my warranty is void if I put aftermarket parts on my bike!!!! WTF!!!! So now I have $1000 worth of parts I can't use. I find this outrageous and I will be telling everyone I know think twice about getting a new Harley.
So you just didn't know, maybe you should have ask before buying the parts. So I know before hand this is what I did. I got a aftermarket warranty from Jim Palmer ie: Motorcycle Agent 5 years. So check them out if you want Jjim@motorcycleagent.com or call 800 920 0890 I am sure there are others. I would not sign anything the dealer wanted me to about the warranty because I just don't think they can enforce it. Maybe the engine part but not the rest of the bike. Good Luck
The only thing that will void warranty is the tuner. Just flash back the stock map before bringing it in, or get the HD SEPST until warranty is over. What I did. Ive had no warranty issues. And also the warranty guy listed above is good from what I hear. Wouldnt know Ive messaged over the last year a few times with no response
Yea, uh, HD got spanked by the EPA not so long ago. Cant do an after market tune/tuner and keep the warranty. You could do a Screamin Eagle tune and be fine.
True story. I was working as a Service Manager for an HD dealership when they got hit with that $15million EPA fine.

Flashing back doesn't work anymore. Once a tech hooks up HD digital-tech to your bike it shows the total ECM flash count, so they'll know you've flashed it. The only safe bet during your warranty period is to use the SE Pro Street Tuner as others have mentioned.
Well that's it ...shut er down...we've lost one too many to carry on. Lol...buh bye crybaby. Go buy a Honda.
He made a mistake. He made a bigger mistake by telling us about it. I'm so glad none of you ******** ever made a mistake. When you do don't tell us about it. The guy did not deserve this kind of beat down.

It's not what he did, it's the way he did it, all righteous like, all uppity, and then he had his little dummy spit and his waaaaaa at us and then left. lol
So yea I think he got off light actually.
