Service / Repair Records
Does Harley maintain repair records on bikes that is available to new owners. Problem, I have a 2002 twin Cam 88, I know the cams, chains and tensioners was replaced. I know this was Harley shop done but not where and what was installed. Any way to find out, previous owner not available.

When I got my 04, the local dealer printed off a 3/4 inch book on it. It did have the extended warranties from Harley and the two local dealers however.
A 2002 probably falls in my catagory of they should be replaced even if not worn, just to heat harding from 10 years or more. I am referring to shoes, inspection oil pressure before tear down, then measure oil pump for wear, new inner cam bearings, shoes, and gaskets.
Don't fall for so called silly not true upgrades
They are not a regular schedule maintenance item. How do you know they were replaced.
Mine are original. But I'm local now and actually no longer ride right now.

One thing I do is record all service, repair, maintenance, accessories added into a 3 ring binder. When I sell the bike, this notebook goes with it. The new owner will have a detailed list of what was done on the bike. I know this does not help you or answer your question, but I strongly recommend that everyone does this. It does show proof of maintaining your bike, but great reference for brakes, tires, etc.

Dealers are not really open to giving out detailed records as they once would do. Has to do with privacy concerns , time cost. If the dealer is one that knows you well you are more likely to get some where. Yes the records are there. They will help when a bike is wrecked with the adjuster. Records from the dealer hold a lot more value than yours do.
