Harley outrage
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.

You should have read all the paperwork and warranties that came with your new 2020 Street Bob, then you would be knowledgeable, not have been surprised, or find it outrageous on this issue. Do not place the blame on Harley when you did not accomplish due diligence.
Either keep your bike stock until the warranty runs out or modify it and loose your warranty your choice.
Probably should have joined HDF sooner then you would have been aware of the EPA thing.

Find a different dealer. You can install your pipes. Won’t have to sign any waiver. Save the new air cleaner and tuner for after your warranty expires, or return them.
