I deal mostly with Napoleon HD. That is where I bought this bike. Although it isn't the same as when Marv owned the place, they still have some good people there. I used to live in Indiana and came to Toledo to visit my family about 15 years ago, when Napoleon was in their smaller building. Bike started having an electrical issue late Friday night. I called them in the morning and they said come on in. Their regular electrical troubleshooter was off but another tech took on the job. He was working on it a few hours and I asked Marv if he had a used bike I could "test" to go get some lunch, he reached into his pocket and gave me his keys to his $30K Harley Truck. What a good guy. It took about 5 hours total and they found a pinched wire under the gas tank, thank God my 2000 Heritage was under warranty. lol.

On the other replies. My idea was to swap the fenders, seats, front, console, wheels, anything I can with the new bike, so the dealer would get a 14 RK in trade with new seat, fenders, etc. That is where the stock parts would come from. Thanks for all the posts and keep them coming if you have the time.

Recently traded up and was able to so some of what you're talking about. However not to the extreme your talking about. I also work closely with the dealership being their Head Road Captain for HOG.

Had a number of Willie G parts, tuner, intake, seat, and a few other little things. I had all the stock parts still so was a quick 1 night process. Dealer had no issue with it due to the fact they tend to sell bikes stock for the same price as one with all the custom parts. Also they were offering me standard book on the bike as a trade so I brought I was fine with the trade as long as I could pull every thing.

I did not bring up wanting to pull parts until we were going back and forth on the deal and were close to closing a deal. Than asked for the CB, extra headset, and my parts.

Looking at the fact you want all your tins this might change things. However the worst they can say is no.
