I would bet money that if you had let them install the handlebars and cables, it would not hve voided the warranty. Bldr

Nope! And he broke federal law telling you so. Look up the Magnusson-Moss warranty act. Then again you are in Egypt and that is a whole 'nother ball of wax!

The rest of your bike is still covered. Only the handlebars will not be covered. The only caveat is if you bought an extended warranty as some of them will say that even if you installed SE or Harley aftermarket stuff. In any event the original mfgr;s warranty is still in effect.

To speak with a Harley-Davidson customer service representative call (414) 343-4056.

Here's the best I can give you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHHHHHHHHH!!!! That's funny!!
I've called them twice in my life now.
I'd prefer to chew on a ball of tin foil while shaving my head with a cheese grater. Waste of time.
