No extended warrenty was bought but they give you a year warrenty when you buy a bike there.
But my warrenty expired last month.
This is my 1st harley and have had to have stupid things replaced.Iv had many jap bikes with alot more miles and never had to do wheel bearings.
I hope this isnt a sign of things to come

you might want to check out the front wheel bearings. Go to a bearing store and get some domestic bearings. SKF or Timking bearings. Usually some where around twenty bucks per bearing.

My local independent charged me $63 per wheel and that included the bearings and balance, I had changed brake rotors. I had 28,000 miles and am the 2nd owner. Both front and rear failed. Front fell apart and rear froze up. He changed them while I waited, took about 15 minutes each.

Mine went out at about 9,000 miles and the feeling isn't good thats for sure. Especially on a long ride out n the middle of nowwhere with the wife on back. Had to wait 4 hours for a tow truck and 1.5 hour ride back to dealer. I did have 2 weeks left on warenty so they repaired it right then and had them do front too, took about 1 1/2 hours so that was good, I was told it was probably a bad batch of bearings is why it went out early. who knows
