I'm sorry to hear that Clammy. There isn't a dealership within driving range that has those parts?! Is Bike rental an option? Would they consider issuing you a loaner bike while yours is down?
I'm married and we just had a kid so I don't plan so many trips longer than a days ride. But one I had been planning for months to make.. Man, it would eat me up too. Hang in there bro and keep us updated.

I feel your pain, I haven't been able to take my bike out all season. Seems I can't get my starter fixed. I pulled it out in May and haven't been able to start it since. I've changed the battery, Startermotor, selenoid, relay, took apart the primary and still can't find the problem. I hope you have better luck fixing yours than I have.

One ray of hope is that I had planned to visit some friends in southeastern US after the weekend, and if I get my bike back on Monday, I can still salvage part of the trip. But the whole reason for the trip was to go to GBW and meet up with a bunch of forum members, so it's small consolation.
Thanks everyone.

Sorry to hear about the misfortune, Clammy. Better now then the unit blowing up somewhere on a backroad. At least you can leave knowing stuff's been fixed.

Big Bummy Clammy. I just went through a similar scare. Even though its 2 weeks before we leave for Sturgis, I get nervous about back ordered parts at a time like this.
Luckily the dealer had me back on the road in three days.
Better days ahead .
