I agree. If the dealer had to do it they would get blamed for every little scratch or problem.

If you are worried about the dealer scratching thing then you are going to the wrong dealer. MOCO has agreed to cover all cost for putting things back the way they are other then the third party air cleaner.

And come on guys everyone can't be a wrench I am sure the majority of HD riders have to rely on the dealer. Dealer's do not stay in business by selling bikes. If there is a warranty repair they should cover what it takes to put the bike back the way it is prior to the warranty work and take full responsibility for their defective engine.

Sounds like the FBW along with IDS isnt working either on the 08s.Maybe HD will get it right for the 09 crowd? Recall.... never!

Well thought I would let everyone know the outcome as it is a good news story for both the MOCO and Dealer (Prestige, West Nyack NY). MOCO agreed to cover replacement of all HD chrome cover replacement the only thing that they would not cover was the Kuyiakin air cleaner as it was third party. However the dealer said they would cover the labor to put it back on. Then the Dealer did one better said Hey being we are going to have the engine out and striped if you want to switch your header pipes we will cover the cost of install and work it into the warranty work all he would have to do is pay for the parts. He switched out to a pair of Vansan Hines Truedules.

I'm glad you have an 07 too. Everyone knows there were no complaints with them.

Here is another reason to sell the 07's,

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/265084-ids-outer-bearing-failure.html

I feel like I am back in the early 70's with my Triumph,

Factory Quality Control was non-existent,

Where is Harley's???????????????????

IDS Band-Aid,

Heat Issue's

Tranny noise Issue's, so much so that Harley re-designs the tranny for 08,

Why would I go through the same thing I did in 1970 with my Triumph????
