Please please tell us how you know this to be "fact".
I find it hard to believe it took 11 years of testing to bring this or any other motorcycle engine to market and that HD would have been able to keep it a secret for over a decade.
I think you're just blowin smoke up our azzes as usual.

Based on what?
If you brought your auto in for warranty work, would you demand this?
If it became a headache, over and over again, I would complain. But so far, he noticed a leak, brought it in, got a new engine. Not like it ruined his vacation.
Not to mention service work is useless to me, I don't let people work on my bie, unless it is warranty.

It's why you'll get nowhere...
There are ways to ask for things. ASK.
Yes, they are making it right so far.
Girl's Jeep, month old, radio went out. Jeep dealer had it a month. literally went out the day after she made her first payment.
Gave her a loaner, a very nice loaner.
Asked what they could do to make her happy, I told them make a payment.
They refunded her first payment.
Nowhere did I make demands, get loud, kick or scream.
I asked, nicely.
That's all I'm saying.
Should also note they're bringing in the local rep for the OP to talk to him along with the dealer service manager.
In other words, someone up the food chain higher. Just ask...nothing to lose.

If it leaked on your ride home from picking it up, I would of pulled a U-turn and taken it right back to the dealer. Now at this point with it being in the service dept and they have 'no clue' where its leaking from I'd demand they exchange it for another bike or give you a full refund.

It's hard to ask you favors while you are dealing with this BS, but a pic would be great. For the rest of that aren't dealing with this personally, but are very interested in the cause and outcome, a pic would help. I'd like if determine if this this was a freak one time occurrence, or if the rest of us with M8 engine have an area we need to keep an eye on.
Thanks for starting this thread. First year owners need to stick together.

I found this picture, don't know if you are talking about where the stud is on the right side rear on the motor. I circled the area in the top picture. You had mentioned right side of motor to the rear of the floorboard.
