PC III feel out, and tried to kill me

So I had my Roadking at the local dealer yesterday for a 5K service and a Dyno tune, got home just before the sky opened up. So tonight after work I figure I'll do a short 2 hour ride for a pack of smokes. About 30 minutes into my ride i hit something, I check my mirrors and a little piece of black plastic bouncing away, no big deal looked like a cassette, 15 miles later my bike jerks to right so i look down and see a bike fat wire harness and a white piece of plastic right near my back tire, WTF!?!? I pull over all the while thinking oh ****, oh ****, oh **** I get off the bike and pick it up and It's my PC III. Apparently the tech loosened my PC III from the velcro AND zip tie in order to get at it and never made sure that it was secured back in. So I pull of my bags reroute the harness/PC III back to the left side of my bike (not recommended while the pipes are hot, BTW) and thank the Gods that I have zip ties in my bag and limp home. I'll be making a call as soon as they open in the morning. I am not a happy man

That will teach you to put unauthorized parts on your bike.

Dealerships are to production minded, get it done! to do a good job imo.
I dont have time or the inclination to work on my own stuff to often but I have an Indy who thinks my bike is his own..

I probably won;t take my bike to the stealer again......

of course I'm fortunate enough to have a Motorcycle racer and former HD owner doing my service now...

No point to being mad, yet. I'll call the stealer in the morning and then see if I have to reuse my words from when it happened. Right now I'm more worried about the time I need to patch the wiring harness, looks like Gettysburg is out, but i can still do NY State Route 28 on saturday http://www.motorcycleroads.us/roads/ny28.html, tight sweepers and low LEO's, doesn't get better
