Extended Warranty
Waiting for delivery of my 08 Street Glide (first HD) and have been reading about the extended warranty program. Who's done it and what did you pay? Would you do it again? Looking for feedback before I pull the trigger. It's $600 for an extra three years of coverage according to the paperwork from my dealer. I have done it on my last two bikes, one time it paid for itself, the other it was never used. Both times, I bought at dealer cost rather than the double-that-amount retail price. Do they ever discount this money-maker?
Thanks!
Thanks!
RE: Extended Warranty
EVERYconsumer publication and advocate says NOT to buy extended warranty on anything.I'm going to cancel mine and get the refund. My experience with the way Harley Dealers handle warranty issues so far is not encouraging.

RE: Extended Warranty
I normally dont buy Extended Warrenties, but with all the new innovations HD put into the new touring bikes I did. Now have changed my mind and sent in the paperwork last week requesting to cancel it. Figure they will Pro rate it even though the bike is only 6 mo old but I should get most of the money back.
Now I can get on with Stage I upgrades cause if it wasany day of the weekexcept Thursday or ifthe date was an even number they wont honor the warrenty, at least that is what I heard.

RE: Extended Warranty
When you say 3 years are you counting the first two as the manufactures warranty? If the 600.00 you mention is not a discounted price I can tell you that you are only buying 1 year beyond the two. For example HD advertises their Extended Service Plan or warranty as a 7 year warranty. On an FL series bike like a street glide or Ultra the total cost for the additional esp of 5 years or as they try to advertise it 7 years including tire and wheel package is$1859.00.That is full retail for all additional 5 years and personally I would not be without it.But I ride long distances often and hard.

RE: Extended Warranty
My understanding from the sales guy is that it's three years beyond the manufacturers' warranty to give me 5 years of coverage in total. Am I misinformed?
With the new stuff like TBW, etc. and the fact that I'll probably put more than 50,000 on it in 5 years, I've been leaning toward buying it.

RE: Extended Warranty
I haven't gotten my first Harley yet, I ordered a FLHRC a couple of weeks ago and it should be ready for pick up in late April. I went for the extended warranty because I'm spending around $35K on the thing all in. I got the SE 103 Stage II, ABS, LoJack, some engine chrome and some additional lighting. So now all these additions are covered in my extended warranty since I'm getting them done before delivery. I plan to do some extended trips and thought it'd be good to be able to go to most ant H-D dealership if I needed something sorted out. Plus the cost of the extended warranty was a small percentage of the total amount that I was spending so I went for it.
And maybe it was all those old horror stories from my buddies with the AMF Harleys!
