He's in Canada, so I believe he did. Things just cost more up there.

Sorry about your issues. The are not factory issues, but dealer issues.

The sad thing is you knew the dealer was bad and bought from them anyway. The only reason dealers improve is they must to stay in business. I would have gone elsewhere...

In a way you helped create and continue the issue by buying from them. Dad but true

Well your 2nd post stated how bad your dealer was. You found this out after you bought from them? Seems like you already knew from what you stated...

Mine has always made that noise like a cicada (locust). Sounds like a rapid clicking/buzzing noise. I've checked and tightened everything on the front brakes so I think it's another of those many normal Harley noises.
