mchad. on a normal purchase you are totally right. Demo bike is different. I asked about upgrade being done within first 60 days and was told since it was a CO OWNED BIKE by hd it didn't matter. have had 5 different dealers run history on bike and all come up the same. since it was driven by an exec upgrade was done at their training center in Milwaukee and no documentation is required. I have been told all the things they HAVE to do but in the end they have no obligation for anything once dealer takes ownership. They just find a sucker like me to then buy it. Still like the bike though!

mchad. I bought a 2017 road king DEMO bike from a hd dealer. I was advertised as a 107 with SE stage 3 upgrade.
after purchase I asked for documentation on upgrade. They told me when they purchase a demo bike thru auction from HD corp. they are given zero info on bike before they get it, I have reached out to HD in Milwaukee 6 or 7 times for info. their response is always it was done there with all SE parts so I am covered by esp. when I bought the bike I was told after purchase that because it was a demo bike the warranty started the day it came off line. therefore I had 1 month of factory warranty left. to be honest I only have there word its a 114. I believe so but have no paperwork nor can I get any. guess I should have lawyers definition of DEMO before buying.. My mistake.

Once again there should be no reason for the Dealer to lie to you about Stage 111. If it has not given you any trouble in 7000 miles and covered 8000 at the Dealer before that,what's your concern? The best way to verify it has stage 111 is to Drag a 107.Check the compression is 11:1.Check if it has double valve springs.Should have a high flow air filter.Should have been sold with a tuner? If you have it get a dealer to read the state of tune or Dyno it. It should already go like Hell?

Peter Quinn. First concern was question about oil pump. Second , not everyone that rides a Harley is a full certified mechanic. Dealer probably did not lie about upgrade. They just cannot provide any documentation. Has high flow air cleaner and screaming eagle street tuner. Also bike has more power than I will ever use. Original concern was if different or bigger oil pump was used on rebuild? Just being cautious on all the post out there about oil pumps and sumping. If I had ten paged I would explain mystery bike and why there seems to be no documentation on it before it went to dealer.
