Buddy bought an SERT from HD the other day. The Tech told him that people are having the Power Commanders taken from their parked motorcycles.
How common of a problem is this? Have you, or do you know of anybody that has had one stolen from their bike. I tried the search function but didnt turn up any related topics.
Never heard of any being stolen, but after I had my bike dyno'd it was never stuck back onto the velcro and 4 days later I smelled the drive belt eating it. Yip, almost cut in half, big hole in the side and it still works, but I did replace it.
I'm not sure which is more depressing; The fact that dealer personnel will tell customers things like this, or the fact that there are people that believe them. Sad, just sad.
I could see it happening........would only take about a minute to steal one on the pre-'08 bikes. Remove right side cover, cut 2 zip ties, unplug 2 plugs and you're gone.
One they need to know it is there two other then the glied and the ultra I think the put it under the seat so it would take some work to get at it. Strange I would think there are some much better sales point for the Sert over the power command other then trying to tell people the power commanders are being stolen.
