Default New bike warranty

You would think it would be something easy to find, but I can't seem to find the new bike warranty information on HDs site. Can someone tell me what the warranty would be on a new 2018 Softail?

My 2018 Softail Low Rider came with 24 month unlimited mileage factory warranty.

The warranty has been greatly simplified for the 2018 model year.

If your bike breaks in half, you get to keep both halves.

It's in the back of the owner's manual, usually one of the last sections....

If you don't have one, go on the HD website, sign-in and you can access your bike's owner's manual.....

Considering a new Fatboy. Don't have an owner's manual yet. The idea of having to buy a bike, or register as an owner before being able to view a warranty policy on a new bike is somewhat backwards, don't you think? Why would a manufacturer not put that information up front where it can be used to make a decision?

Stop by a dealer and ask.

I have no idea why the MoCo does some of the things they do......except to say that just about everything they do, they believe will lead to higher profits..

I have nothing to do with the MoCo, their website, or their policies... nor would I ever try and defend some of their stupid decisions....

I was just trying to help you find the information you're looking for.....
