Just my luck!!
So im all booked in and I get a confirmation call from HD saying everthing is in for my Bar change
I take a day off work, to ride up and wait the 4hrs for the work to be done.
On the final hr I gets a visit from the parts manager saying there is a problem
The Indicator wires are too short and they need to order 4" extentions..
And this will take a few days !!!
So now im waiting and hoping as Im due to go on a ride out with some fireman friends on Sunday, and show off my bike (as you do).
Hows your luck, better or worse?

*** the dealer is right, why is it that they honestly cannot seem to get **** right, despite the fact that this is what they are paid to do. I'd trust myself and members of hdforums to work on my sled anyday over my local dealer.

Hmm, if i dont get some type of reduction in price for the inconvenience of it, I may have to think twice about having stuff done there in the future.
I will be right pissed off, if i cant go on my planned ride out on sunday though..
Dr, I hear what your saying..

That sucks man, dealers are a waste of time IMO. They always end up hijacking your bike for what seems like an eternity. My bike gets worked on by me unless its a warranty issue and I HAVE to bring it to them.
