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.

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. I’ve had no warranty issues. And also the warranty guy listed above is good from what I hear. Wouldn’t know I’ve messaged over the last year a few times with no response

I feel for you man, but you should read this forum more. There have been TONS of stuff about HD voiding warranty because of aftermarket parts

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.
