Stamping service book
I have an ex harley dealership mechanic who services my bike when it has to be done. I was looking to trade in my bike, and upon speaking to the salesman at the dealership, said because it was not stamped by a proper dealer, this meant that the bike did not have a proper service history. Is this true?

I don't think you have to go to Harley dealer for service.. Show your records. receipts of oil and filters .I took mine to a Bike shop ,he gave me a detailed receipt on everything.I am going to all my services from here out. Save your receipts.

Do it yourself and save BIG BUCKS!!
1st thing to buy: service manual for your year and model of bike
(save your reciept)
service manual will tell you what you need to buy, how to service it, and how often it needs to be done.
(save reciepts)
see where I am going with this?
as long as you have reciepts that you bought (or recieved as gift) all items for your service, they cannot dispute it.
As far as having your book stamped, have your kid or grand kid draw in it with a crayon. That will carry the same weight as a "genuine Harley stamp"

DZLDR, thank you for your input. Seriously though I do not have a clue on how to do these services. Have ridden for 40 odd years and always left things to the 'men who know'. Have tried on other things and when job completed there are always parts left over. So you can understand my quandry, have tried to do the right thing and looks like I could be stitched up. I must add that he offered Ł9300, after inintialing offering Ł10600 so I will stick with my ride, which I enjoy and maybe just being silly, Harley madness LOL
