So are there any reports of bikes that are bone stock, without upgraded Stage - whatever kits doing this?
Just bought a new 2018. Planning on leaving it stock. Wondering now if I made a mistake.

On my 2017 Road Gilde Ultra, I had 3 bone stock 107 fail due to sumping. After the 3rd one, HD replaced the bike, and now I'm on a 2018 FLTRU. Just got my 1K service today, but I dont have a lot of confidence in this bike.

Is anyone familiar with Feuling part # 7097 race series oil pump system. Just ordered one today for the sumping issue. These guys knew the problem before I described it and said they have the fix. Not cheap at $1199 but a lot cheaper thank regular breakdowns and Harley not having an oil pump remedy. Back ordered for 2 weeks, I’ll let everyone know if it fixes our pump issue once I get the bike back in a few weeks. Thoughts?

Order is already in, and Feuling doubled the warranty to 24 months. My dealer has been awesome to me and having everything under their wing helps. Beings that Harley Davidson just voided my Warranty on my 2018 FLHXS, I’m guessing I should cancel the 6 year ESP I bought. So incredibly disappointed in the motor company.
