Tracking Numbers are for expedited freight like UPS, FedEx and some Parcel Post. That engine probably has a Bill Of Lading with it, and the carrier would have to track down the BOL# to find out where it is.
I'm sure HD could have expedited it if they wanted to.

Slow season? I wonder how they keep the doors open. I've been to "Destination Daytona" a few times, once just a few weeks after Bike Week and the place was a ghost town each time. All you could hear were crickets and tumbleweeds blowing across the parking lot!

BTW. What ever possessed you to go all the way up there from Delray Beach for service? Seems like a long way to travel for apathy.

She was in Daytona when her motor crapped.

Not a happy update today. After numerous calls to the MOCO and Rossmeyers, even getting Ms Rossmeyer to call, they are missing parts for the new engine and are still waiting for them. The lead time of 14 days is not true. We are now at 27 days from the written order and they have no idea when these parts will come in. I just got off the phone with Customer Service and I am spitting tacks. I said I want a manager to call me tomorrow and that this is not good enough.

Even Ms Rossmeyer called me today. I still have no complaints with Rossmeyers this is all ineptness from the mother ship.

And yes I broke down in Daytona on a trip.

Very sorry Lauren, it's the stuff that nightmares are made of.

Just asking, but is there any way for buying back the bike? Just wondering...since it has the warranty. This sounds to be a bit much to put up with if your still paying for the bike.

It seems a corporation as big as Harley Davidson, in fact any motor vehicle manufacturer can't put together an install kit when a motor is being replaced under warranty, all the gaskets, "o" rings and any other small pieces required. I feel for you.

It appears the moco is striving to live up to their mission statement, " We're not happy until you're not happy!"

Sadly, it seems when you need them to fix something major under warranty you are treated like a **** ant pain in the ***. At the very least there should have been some communication to you from them explaining the delay and what they were doing to remedy it.

I wish I had wise words of help, but I've been down the same road with them and I just had to wait with no explanation. It sucks I know.

Wow, no spare 110 engines on the shelf? That's ridiculous. I'd ask the MoCo to buy the bike back.
