5 Year Warranty
32,000 miles on 09 Road King and my ESP is up in August. Dealer just told me I can get 5 more years for $2700. What's the thoughts on this deal. My thinking is I can ride the hell out of this bike and if I pop the motor in the next 5 years I pay the difference and upgrade to a 120R?
Touring bikes are easy enough to add stuff to, if I don't want it to be a Road King anymore I can add a Fairing and some Lowers and turn it into and Ultra or RGU.
Has anyone blown a motor and upgraded under warranty? I feel like they would let you pay the difference and bump up a few CI's.

The bike will be 14 years old in 5 years, are you going to want to upgrade?? You know the bike best, if you think the $$$ are worth it, and you spare coin to spend all up to you

It fits me great... Right bars and seat, the 96 does well with 48's installed. If I add a fairing and lowers I got all I need for touring. I'd like to think I'm content with it but I'd be more content with a 120 in it! LOL

If you are going to keep the bike I would probably buy the warranty.
Nice Bike! I know how it is to have one set up the way you like it. I remember having one paid for also! LOL
All I can say is if you buy the warranty don't ride a Rushmore with 103HO or the new M8.

ABS is your biggest worry. if you keep up on the fluild flushes/recommended maintenance, that is losing money.
I would buy parts for it, change it up a bit, and pocket the rest.
FWIW, I would ride out to Fuel Moto and have them do all the upgrades on site if you want it turned up.
that way, you KNOW it's right: the right parts, right combo, right people installing it.

This right here!!
This "warranty" the OP is asking about is really just an aftermarket service contract.
They make a killing on selling these policies!
It is like the lottery.
They are betting that nothing will go wrong with your bike, and you are betting that things will go wrong.
On average, they win more than they lose.
