1000 mile service question
Hey all, just wondering on some input here. \\; New Fat Bob owner, running about 515 miles now. \\; Also called the dealership mechanic on this one. \\; \\; At about 400 miles, I installed some cycle shack slip-ons, and know theyre ok, no remap needed, no air breather change. \\; \\; When talking about my 1000 mile service coming soon I asked and the local dealer mechanic said he wouldnt void my warranty, anyone else put something on so soon and did harley give you any warranty issues doing so? \\; \\; Plus I bought the bike from a different dealer than my local one, and I hear that the locals are territorial and I wont get much good work done. \\; \\; Any input on that as well?
 \\;
thanks!

The backslashes are a bug with the system. \\; Not you. \\; Been going on for some time now. \\; Moderators assure us they're working on it. \\;

This is what I was told, No it won't void the warranty,and I had the dealer install the same slip ons as you \\; only (turn out style) at the time of purchase and for better airflow I had the SE air cleaner installed too with a "flash" download. As for buying your bike from another dealer other than where you have it serviced, there is a differents in where you stand in line imo, that dealer is going to take care of his customers \\; first  \\; \\; so to speak. I drove 65 miles to get a better deal when I bought the bike and yes it's SUCKS to take it back for any warranty work if I want the bike back the same or next day.

RE: 1000 mile service question
thanks guys. \\; well, most of the time all i do with the dealer is the 1000 mile job, and getting a tire changed since i dont have the lift to do it myself. \\; the rest is done on my own 99 percent of the time. \\; the thing is, the local dealer just always encouraged me to stay with my sportster when i mentioned a bike i wanted to trade for, and offers of 2 or 3 grand for my sportster couldnt \\;compete when the other dealer gave me 6 when it had 14000 miles on it and lots of road wear. \\; \\; glad to hear the dealers didnt void on the slip-ons. \\; \\; \\; ill probably still use the closer dealer and just put up with it i guess for now.
