Sorry to hear about your engine. The whole thing does not sound good. Glad you where a HOG member and they came through for you. Hope HD warranty's the engine. Sounds like a rebuild or a new one in your future

Good luck and keep us posted. Us 08 Ultra baggers need to know.

Well, at least by it being just an 08 the fix-it bill should be on the MOCO!

Terrible news! I hope the warranty covers you, and you get everything squared away. Please keep us posted, and best wishes on getting this fixed. Man, with 72K on my bike, you've got me seriously nervous.
