Now, if you do all your own wrenching then it maybe an unnecessary expense..

Plan on keeping it for min. 2 more years.

Firstdyna is right on... Its the same with any insurance, which is what it really is....
================================================== ======


I went through the same thing this past spring when mine was up.....

U read in here where someone's motor blew up and cost 9 zillion to fix.... well close to that.... anyway, I think we all like that little cushion of "WTF" I HAVE A WARRANTY,,,if she breaks.....

On my Heritage I'll have to say I never had anything go wrong with her during the 20k I put on her during the 24months with warranty.....

Now that being said,,,, it did fall apart this summmer,,,,,Naw just chitting Ya......

OK, I did have the aftermarket, brake/running/stoplight, unit go bad. Dealer make it good.

Other than reg services, gas, tires, oil, Hummmm. Like my ole 67 GTO...I feel that Harleys are as solid as any bike on the road today..

Now Urs diff has a lot more chit than mine. to error... maybe....

Now after the withdrawls, I am not wishing now I'd spent the other $1400 to extend it..

Still you have to be comfy,,,,,, so do what Ur heart and mind tells ya....
I am in the denial side and would rather put the money in the bank....

cause iff-in ur the 1 in a 1000. who needs it, will U kick Ur own a$$ or suck it up and go on........................
