Well, I have never been much of a believer in extended warranties either. However, I did by one for my '06 Ultra. Didn't have a clue that it included tires but it does, or at least what I bought does. Had less than 1K on a rear tire and got a nail in it. Plugged it, rode to the dealer and got a brand new tire including labor. The only requirement is that you have at least 3/32" tread left on the tire. This is my only time to use the ESP but this feature is real nice.

I bought a 3 yr ESP (no tire/wheel policy) for my '06 King back in March. I figure if the bike had true duals & stage 1 on it when I bought it, that shouldn't be an "out" if I have an issue down the road. Cosmetic changes or doing oil & fluid changes done by myself shouldn't either as long as I have the receipts and log the dates of the maint. If I have the engine modified internally, then I wouldn't expect them to honor any issues w/ the engine.

That's not necessarily true. Most times they will. Especially if your A.B.S. fails, and you added a stage 1. One has nothing to do with the other so they will warranty. Now, if you had E.F.I. problems after adding stage 1 they could argue, but Harley's pretty good about honoring their warranties.

I have had warranty work done on my 06 ultra that cost fours times what the warranty
cost. My hat is off to Digger53 with 90000 on his 07 I have 70 thousand on my 06
I thought that was a lot of riding.

ext. warranty
I bought it and am glad I did. I put a $4000.00 set of 3pc. billet wheels on my bike and at some point hit a large pothole and bent the hoops. I didn't even realize it, until I took it in for a new rear tire and they called me and said that the wheel was bent, and couldn't put a new tire on it. I had them call the ESP and they not only paid for the wheel to be fixed, they paid for a new tire too. All for $50.00.
A couple months ago, got a flat, while a couple hours from home and called the local Harley stealer and they came and picked me up and put a brand new tire on for me, again- $50.00
I say it's worth every penny.
I know a guy who bought a SE Ultra and the motor had some issues, They put a brand new motor after he racked up 20000 miles. That would have been very expensive......
