Default Harley Finance

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;Ok here's the story, my dad recently went to the local dealership to put a deposit on a&nbsp\\;new bike.&nbsp\\; He has no intension of financing it through Harley, but when he was sitting in the office he saw a sign and confirmed it with the finance guy, that Harley will no longer finance your bike unless you purchase at least a 3 year warranty.
&nbsp\\;
Anybody else here of this?

That's illegal in Michigan.&nbsp\\; Probably all 50 states.&nbsp\\; No big deal, it's usually cheaper financing it elsewhere.

Fla. lenders can require insurance on a vehicle loan. if you do not get covered they can and will cover it for you at a heavy cost and add it to your loan

If you financed your road king in Fla. and didn,t show them proof of collision and comp. ins. be prepared to get a letter saying that you have so long to get the coverage or they will get for you at a LARGE price! Been there Done that!
