Inspection fail question
#11
The closest hd dealer is southern tier harley. They are not particularly friendly towards older machines. Having said that, they did inspect it last year while it was strapped to the trailer. Tires, tail lights and let it fly. I avoided them today just because of the vibe I get when i go there. guess maybe I should have sucked it up. So i went to a metric dealer that i've done business with in the past and now here i sit.

Dragging this one up for an update. Cleaned the area in question and put some miles on the bike, no leaking forks, just residual grease from that zerk. Rode down to Southern Tier Harley and I have to say they treated me very well. Before I went down, I downloaded the New York State motorcycle inspection checklist, printed it out and inspected the bike myself just to be sure. Everything checked out and they passed it with flying colors. One of the employees had a nice screaming eagle road king, which I parked next to as I was leaving, so was he, and I jokingly said just my luck to park my old pile next to a beautiful ride like that to which he replied dude, if you're selling, I'm buying, you're bike is awesome! Weather he was sincere or not, made me proud of the old girl and I was glad to have a positive experience there, I'll definitely go back for any dealer related items I might need.
