ORIGINAL: dawg

Generally parts are covered under warranty, but labor is not......They should've brought you right in and warranteed your latch and charged you at least a half hour labor of $40 or so to put it on&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Guess they lost money on that one.
&nbsp\\;
Wow, if your dealer charges you labor every time you bring your motorcycle back for a warranty repair you need to find a new dealer cuz you're getting screwed. What you are referring to is a limited warranty that you get with most electronic equipment but the 2 year warranty you get with a Harley Davidson motorcycle id a full warranty with the dealer getting reimbursement for each claim submitted.&nbsp\\;

The fact is any part that is covered by the 2 year warranty is&nbsp\\;covering both the parts and labor. You do not have to pay for the labor portion if&nbsp\\;the repair is covered under the warranty.

I assume this is one of those Presto latches.&nbsp\\;I have four broken ones on my bike now. I got tired of replacing them after a while.&nbsp\\; They still close, it's just the spring that usually breaks. Has anyone found a cheap source for these?&nbsp\\;Like a luggage place or something? I think they go for about $15-ish each regularly.
