Default Harley Payoff

I paid my bike off last month and got a letter from Harley I thought it was telling me I would
see thet title soon but it was a release that said the lein was paid in full and I had to go spend $20
to take their name off the title go figure!!!!! [:'(][:'(] (end of rant)

rsofa, The way your describing the lien, it sounds like you used something else a collateral instead of the bike to get the loan (such as a home). Check your contract. In N.J. we get the title after pay off and it's just stamped "loan paid". If we use, say a home we then have to get the load cleared first before the title is issued.

Then it warn't via HD Finance, ah'm thinkin' - I looked at their contract when ah bought mine, an' there wuz no such penalty on theirs - others (especially tier-3 fc's) WILL do it. Ah opted ta go w/mah Credit Union simply because they offered mea 4% or so lowerAPR (ah do all mah bankin' with 'em).

In Wisconsin...all you have to do is send in the Lien Release with the Title to the DMV and they send you a new one.. no charge...
