Last week I mentioned that I was upset with my dealership's Service Manager. I was doing 7 or 8K worth of performance mods and the manager got snarky with me and when I called him on it he in essence told me he was either trying to Price Gouge me this time or they did Shoddy work the last time they worked on my bike. I went to the store owner and explained why I was pulling the work order.
I wanted those mods because I wanted more power than the stock 107 has and I would have to go to Lubbock to get the work done by a Harley Dealer. It dawned on me that I could skip the mods and just buy a new bike that had what I wanted Anyway, next week I'm picking up my new 2022 Road Glide Special FLTRXS, Reef Blue / Vivid Black (Chrome Finish).
Nice bike but if you were spending 8-9k on performance mods your 107 would of been a lot more than the 114 has to offer. I hope you didn't buy from the same dealer doing the mods
No, going to Lubbock, that's why I'm waiting until next Tuesday when it's supposed to be warmer. I was using SE everything to keep my warranty so wasn't getting a lot of bang for my buck. No extended warranty this time so in 2 years I can do what I want. Of course, in 2 years when I'm 76, this will probably have all the power I'll want
