I didn't buy the plan as I was going to change everything and build the motor so it was a waste of money to me. If you just ride it and not modify it and ride a lot then it could be worth it
I got the 7 year plan when I bought mine, the factory 3 plus an additional 4. Only had to use it when I had the valve seal issue. I got the 4 year for the price of the 2 year, that's why I went with it. Plus being my first bike, I didn't know what exactly to expect. Probably lost money on the deal, and not sure I'd buy it again, but not sorry I had it either. It's basically insurance.

I vote to not getting it too. You have the regular warranty and like the others say if that goes to expire then think about getting something else. It also voids it sometimes when you add mods so think of that too. I could not buy a bike and then go without moding it.

I bought it on one bike basically for the tire plan--never had a flat. Didn't buy it on the next two. The Road King was a nail magnet and it would have paid for itself. Only 1 flat on the Heritage in 2 years, so far so good. Would have never needed it for anything else. Wish my dealer had a tire plan. I would be on that like a hobo on a ham sandwich.

If you do your own work, it isn't worth it. If you don't and just want to ride with the number of nagging problems I had with my '06 if I didn't do my own mods, etc. it would have been well worth it IMHO.

Do they add the ESP to your financing? That's how I ended up buying mine. Since I didn't have to pay it all up front I figured the extra coverage like tire/wheel was worth it. And if you do decide to add something that voids the warranty you can always cash in your ESP for a pro rated amount. My dad recently did that to pay for some engine work that voided his warranty. I'm considering doing it myself. I expect about $600-700 and I've had the ESP for over a year now.
