Get a life and move on. (Especially after admitting cheating on warranty.)
"how you kept it stock and rides under 3.5K RPM" wrong and wrong..you only read what you want, take it out of context..really don't know wtf you are even talking about
my bike has been a dyno tuned Stage 1 for 2 years and in compliance and I ride it anyway I like anytime I like..I read my warranty and clearly understand it..some have lower levels of comprehension skills I guess
I keep wanting to ask you if you could possibly be any stupider but been afraid you'd take that as a challenge

Harley and my dealer fulfilled their obligations on my bike and owe me nothing. I paid them in full and I owe them nothing. My views on sumping are primarily motivated by my strong desire to own another new Harley. But until there is clear and convincing evidence that Harley has taken the issue seriously with a significant update to the M8 engine design (or a new engine) to address sumping and fluid migration, I will not be purchasing another Harley.
My interest in this thread is to follow along as they make progress ... or not... in resolving these M8 issues that appear to be inherent to the design and are still problematic after 3 years of product production. 2020 will be their last chance to keep me as a new bike customer (too many quality alternatives on the market), however I'll never give up my 2010 CVO Ultra.

I will never understand why people remain so blind to the laws of the land. Are you going to tell me that some yokel removing his catalytic converter from his 1978 shitbox didn't know he was breaking Federal law? Give me a break.
If you mod it and it breaks, it's your problem. Simple rule-of-thumb. Common sense that's lost on most.

Still here and not going anywhere. Never cheated on anyone or anything. Debt free. Pay all obligations on time or early. Comply with the terms of my agreements and expect others to do the same. Its America and any property I own is mine to do with as I please. NO ONE says what I can do... or not do.... with property I purchased with the fruits of my labor.

Eventually I did the only sane thing I could do -- I put him on my ignore list. I encourage all of you to do the same. It's obvious at this point that he's actually thoroughly enjoying the textbook definition of trolling, and rule 1 of the internet is "don't feed the troll".
And Steve Cole? For trying to set the record straight and calling spades actual spades, I've made up my mind that I'm going with the TTS100 cam.

You can call it whatever you want. Once I own title to my property its mine to do with as I wish within the law. I can take my bike, strip it the frame, add parts, take parts off, have it sit in boxes in my garage if I want. Its my business what I do with my property after I’ve paid the manufactuer and signed the purchase agreement.
So long as its compliant to the terms of the warranty at the time a claim is made or at any time HD or the dealer are working on my bike than I have fulfilled ALL of my obligations. If you have a problem with that approach to owning property ... well, get over it because its my rights and no one elses.
You fulfilled your warranty obligations by NOT removing or tampering with emission control devises? Please.

Coming from a guy who has kept his bike stock, preached to others how you kept it stock and rides under 3.5K RPM, I kind of expected you'd be the first person to say exactly that, I almost posted those exact words as coming from MJ...
