You know it seems Harley owners are azz holes. I'm not sure I like being a Harley owner!

Like it was mentioned earlier, all bike makers have lemon bikes out there, none excluded.
For those that say you should be 'there', or on "this or that forum" or "fill in the blank" they just don't get it. Children usually don't.
You have every right to be here, and they should show some compassion towards your unfortunate situation. I do. I'm just sorry you had to go thru that sort of mess, and I hope your problems are resolved in short order. Most bikes don't exhibit these problems when new. I think you just got one of 'THOSE" bikes. Make Harley stand up behind their product. !
Hope things work out for ya....

Some of you guys got suckered into that one.
Harley guys go over to the Goldwing sites and do the same thing. What a deal!

OverPricedJunk [sm=WTFsgign.gif] are you thinking. If you knew from the get-go that this bike had problems, why didn't you tell the dealer you wanted a different one. Oh yeah, that right because you have [sm=smiley35.gif] for brains [sm=loser.gif]. Some peoples kids. Do i come to your chess club and tell you that your mother dresses you funny????

Taking the plunge and pouring money into the bike whether it be for parts, chrome or service is what the experience is all about.

I bought my RG about 2 weeks before this guy did.I cant say it is a piece of junk.
I also new about the money thing before I took the plunge.
His story reminds me of two brand new mc's I bought,first one was a '70 Honda trail 90(yellow) and the second one was a '77 Maico 450(yellow).Both were lemons and I will never buy a yellow vehicle again!

Obviously I went about this the wrong way and I am sorry that I offended a lot of people. I honestly am at my wits end about this motorcycle. I really have had all of the problems mentioned and don't really know what to do anymore. Harley says that the exhaust glowing red is normal. Some how I just have a problem with that. Many of you have mentioned the Lemon Law but to be honest I don't want a new bike I want the one I have to be right. As previously mentioned I am going to have some more work done on it next week and hopefully that will be the last time I have to take it to the shop for a while for a problem. The only thing that I am worried about is the fact that I am being told what I am doing may and probably will void the warranty.
Any advise would be appreciated.

I'd still be after HD for a new bike... or take it to another shop for the work. Maybe the techs at your dealer are no good.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
Cheers!

If you think Harleys are overpriced there you wouldn't want to know what we pay for them down here. It takes dedication to pay more for a bike than the average family car. I do feel for you OPJ, it's a bummer when you get a lemon or the service is not up to scratch. Hope it works out for you, 99% of Harley owners are happy with theirs and it would be nice to have you in that group.
