Grow a set and go see them in person. Quit hiding in your safe space behind a phone and keyboard.

It's hard to ignore someone when they're standing in front of you.

I don`t believe the story. OP has established zero credibility here, he joined the forum because he has an axe to grind, or fake message to post.

OP: If the story is true ( and if it is actually your motorcycle), you need to get off your chair and step up to the plate. Call Harley, go to the dealer.

I suggest you use Bel-Ray oil.

There, now it's an oil thread.

Tough crowd. Better be wearing your big boy pants, and thicken up some skin.

Oh, the Yelper generation of crying about things on the internet, instead of just getting it done in person is quite sad....

FWIW to the OP... You have documentation of the 1K service and purchase date, therefore you have warranty. Go and solve it.

I would have been on them after 5 days not 5 weeks. Something is very wrong here. We will see if the guy comes back.
