[QUOTE=TheGrandPoohBah;16738527]I heard if you use non HD air in your tires, they will go bald and blow out on you in 15 miles or less, and if HD hears about it, they will not let you on their property no mo.
That's only true for HD branded tires,as long as you have a different brand you can use any old air you like,but if you don't buy their tires you will likely burn to death slowly in a horrific accident,it is one of those catch 22 situations...

Dealer is FULL OF $HIT!!! I also had a Big Crank battery fail recently, wouldn't take a charge, less than a year old and has a "Made in China" sticker on it. Bit the bullet and just bought a Harley battery but at $200 a pop I will look into a different battery the next go around...

None of that matters if you don't have Willie G valve sten caps.

Get a second opinion from an Indy shop or another HD dealership. Most of the Indy shops are own by former HD mechanic and or have former HD mechanic working for them.
