Definitely done with harley. Had 4 so far and they obviously don't care about the customer. buy a new bike and it needs new seat and rear shocks right off the bat.Then 1000 miles and you have known issues that they can't fix but keep on selling.
I traded in my 2016 softail deluxe thinking I was getting something better, if they keep losing customers maybe they will get it and start caring about customers.

Don't wait, you should do it now while you have the least amount of depreciation on the HD and it is still under warranty. Being able to sell a bike that is still under warranty is a big plus that a buyer will consider. Unfortunately if you look on any of the motorcycle sales websites you will see many HD's and their prices are depressed. The GW is a bike you can keep for years and miles and not have to return to the dealer for anything other than routine scheduled maintenance if you are not one to do your own.

Try working on a 2018 Goldwing or even simple as changing air filter it requires to have so much Tupperware removed you would wish to have Tupperware sales party so you won't have to deal with it ever again.

That is why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors, you can't please everyone with just one flavor....or brand of motorcycle. It doesn't make one brand better or worse, just what you have a taste for, and tastes do change through life.
