Still Have No Engine
ha ha Yamaharley. Gave that **** up about 40 years ago.
I know it sucks the Springer is getting close to 60,000 miles. Believe me I am going to ask for an extended warranty, some credit in the bank towards a new bike eventually, free 1000 mile service etc etc. That's why I was considering an attorney to get involved.

Well I did hear from Rossmeyers this weekend, unbelievably there is no tracking number so nobody seems to know where my motor is. I called the MOCO today and was very nice (unusual for me), the good news is the guy did have records of my warranty work and tried to get in touch with the factory that makes the engines, but of course it's July 3rd and nobody's working today. He did call me back so props to him.
Good luck with this. I know it's frustrating as heck.

Of course, I know bike techs and writers don't have a chance in hell of booking the kind of hours we do in an auto shop, and our labor rate is significantly higher.

Actually, our rate and hours were considerably less on warranty work. In their infinite wisdom, the dealership instituted matrix labor and parts pricing, which effectively ran all our customer pay work off.

uklauren,
I didn't read through the entire thread, but what did Rossmeyer's or MoCo originally quote you for lead time on the replacement motor, and did they give you the lead time in writing?
Hopefully you'll be back in the saddle real soon.
Cheers!
