Awww, shucks. And to think I live and breathe to earn your respect. Color me hurt and disappointed. (That's sarcasm; you likely have no respect for that either).

Enjoy your weekend.

With the decline in Harley sales over the last few years, it appears that many have taken your advice.

Has anyone done a comparison of the bike color to sumping or migration yet? I was considering changing from the charcoal and black denim colors (no problems BTW) to another color. So I was wondering if I need to avoid certain colors due to their propensity for problems.

From reading these forum reports of sumping, it appears to me that there have been several things causing the engine to sump. A broken case, a broken oil pump caused by a broken balance gear, loose oil jets, etc... I'm not aware of people who have had their engines replaced by HD getting reports back from the factory about what they found when they got that broke motor and tore it down to figure out what happened. I'm certain engineers have torn down these motors, and they know exactly what caused each event. But information doesn't flow back down to this level. If they have a saboteur or two on the assembly lines, they surely will not want that information getting out.

It's a real shame that 3 years later its still a crap shoot as to if the bike you get will have these issues.

If you're basing your worries of what you read in this forum, don't. For every bike on here with a problem, there's 50 that don't. You're reading a concentration of buyer's remorse. Don't be a sucker.

thats my hope that on,y those with issues post on the forums
