So he sets up an account at a giant Harley forum. Professes to have owned previous dressers. Then tells us how mad he is about the mistake that he made. And ends with,
I’ve modded several gun forums, and been invited to mod a large car forum (and declined), and spent way too much time at all of them.
If he had said something like that at any of them he would have gotten exactly the same response.
I find this outrageous and I will be telling everyone I know think twice about getting a new Harley.

You can thank the EPA. And non EPA compliant parts Harley is forced to violate the warranty.
FWIW, a stage 1 has very little performance impact on an M8, as they already breathe well. In fact some exhaust can degrade low end torque. I’m hsppybwithntbe sound of the SE Street Canons. And if you/don’t change the AC you don’t need a tuner.

Signed Waiver?
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.
👉 We have (2) Options for bikes that have flagged VINs
1. Autrella's Extended Service Plan: All components that were ORIGINALLY covered under the factory warranty and listed on the contract are covered. Your non-compliant component won't cause an immediate decline. If the claim is unrelated to the upgraded component, a covered repair will still be approved. This plan also extends coverage to H-D and SE Components, that are properly installed, after the 60-Day window.
2. Eagle Guardian's Extended Service Plan: All components essential to the operation of the motorcycle are covered; except those specifically excluded. So if your bike has cams, a tuner, big bore kit, heated grips added, ECT--this is the plan for you. The plan's coverage is extended to these components. This is the only plan on the market that does this.

I think the op started this thread to accomplish exactly what we see here...
A new guy trolling the forum, throws out a chunk of smelly bait, and we took it...hook, line, and sinker.

My local H-D dealer has said the dealer is less concerned about the parts and more concerned about fitment and installation. That is, the owner and service manager have both told me that if I buy the parts through them, even a FP3, and have them installed there, my warranty would not be voided by that dealer. AND my service dept has a big sign that says "We will not install parts purchased elsewhere!"
