During the pandemic I installed exhaust, air flow, wiring back turn signals, changing the front light to a led, rewiring when installing the power commander, and downloading different mapping systems for the bike. Been riding for 6 years. But I will maybe ponder on the idea of a different dealer. Just been working. 🙃


That is BULLSH*T as long as you saved your receipts your warranty is fine. you need to report the person that told you that to the dealer management, if it was the management report them to HD. Probably won't do any good but you never know

Try a different dealer, doing your own oil changes don't void the warranty. I live in Lancaster Pa and Iron Valley is a good dealer.

You did not void your warranty.

Give them another shot, or take it to another dealer
