RE: 2007 Road king problems
it is a done deal now and bear in mind ,not a great deal. I will pick up a new bike Monday,same Pewter Pearlwith the same options, chrome front end, stage 1 and screamin eagle slip ons, but it will cost me $1000 out the door, my bike has 1400 miles and is about 4 1/2 months old. I wanted an even up swap, but , even with the factory involved it just ain't gonna happen. If it were to happen, they would have to please all the other people bitchen out there. I just want to ride and smile while doin' it so it is worth the lousey grand "to get er done"'I sorta let myself down cause I said I would not give an inch but you get to a point where you just gotta throw your hands in the air. Gotta give credit to the srvice manager @ Peterson's South in Miami though, goes by "Rooster", he stepped up to make this deal happen or I woulda been S.O.L.So......whats a $1K to get back on the road with a smile?

It's less than a few hours with a lawyer.
It's not what you want but in the long run it might be the best resolution providing there are no issues with the replacement.

Absolutely ride it 1st !!!! It sounds like a decent deal. Being in the car bis (not sales), what they're doing for you is above & beond. A grand?? Not pocket change, but not bad. Kind of like a pro-rate.

If the bike is a piece of junk in 1,400 miles and 5 months,he should not have to pay to get his problem corrected. That is what a two year warranty means. They should either make it right or give him one that is right.

I think you came out smelling like a rose on that. After reading all the posts about "stealers" and tranny problems and CVO 110 engines that give it up, I'd say, well, you came out smelling like a rose.

RE: 2007 Road king problems
a grand can seem kind of sour..plus i assume the 7% sales tax on the $1000..plus new tag..plus new stamps on the loan ? about $1150 i hope they do not try to bill you for some "other" fee's...
consider placing vin # on this site..you know that bike will be on the floor FOR SALE the moment the deal is done..
sometimes it is best to pay a grand and walk away...but dam that has to hurt!
