PigTrail HD
My 05 started pinging on the rear cylinder,talked to the service department,they told me they have seen alot of the 05's that have a bad valve seal and they would try to get it warranty for me.I was glad to hear they were on my side,they also support alot of local charitys.Seem to be good people.I was hoping it would be a bad sensor or something,but after I had tried new plugs and such what he told me made sense.First problem in four years and 22,000 miles.

RE: PigTrail HD
I visited them on a business trip down South - good people for sure!!!
Bought a bunch of clothes from them too.
I also have an' 05 (Ultra) with about 20,000 miles.
Have a small primary leak and get just a little pinging on real hot days.7 yr warranty so I am not worried yet.
We should keep in touch FastHoss to share repair stories as our scoots approach old age

RE: PigTrail HD
Yep, the 05's had a real run of bad valve seals. Once they start leaking you will build up a carbon/oil layer on top of the piston and in hot riding, there will be hot spots in the carbon causing detonation (pinging) while riding and it will get progresively worse. Glad the dealer is working with you.

RE: PigTrail HD
I live in Fayetteville and work in Bentonville, so I am familiar with Pigtrail HD. I was initially pretty turned off by them setting up shop virtually next door to an established aftermarket shop and matching their 6 day business hours, and their double-the-price-with-crap policy on new bikes, but they seem to be doing OK on their service and the times I've needed a HD part, they have been OK. The important thing is that they don't have an adversarial attitude toward the customer.
