I am an anti-extended warranty guy. But...I just bought my Road King
in September of last year. So, I have only put a little over 1,000 miles on it, and my factory warranty expires March 1, 2010 (Monday).
That's only 6 months of warranty, a new bike comes with 2 years of warranty from date of purchase. If you bought your bike new in Sept. 2009 you're good to go until Sept. of 2011.

Never heard anyone have a serious problem shortly after the 2 yrs is up. I'm sure it happens but my experience - do the maintenance and the bikes are super reliable.

Bowa18, I bought my '08 RKC used in September. It has factory warranty on it until March 1, 2010. So, that I why I am debating on extending it this weekend or not.
Thanks a bunch for all of the input guys... I am gonna call around to a few other local dealers to see what their prices are for an extra 3 years (5 total).
Ya'll have a good weekend...

Just for the record, no one owns an "HD Extended Warranty" because there is no such product sold by HD. If you wish to continue warranty coverage plus add other services that are not included in the factory warranty (roadside service for example), then you'll need to purchase (or have already purchased) Harley Davidson's Extended Service Plan.
Their ESP's are available in 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7yr plans. What you are purchasing in any of these plans are the number of years you wish to cover your bike in total from the time of purchase. In other words, you're buying the additional years of coverage to extend coverage beyond your factory warranty to the number of years in the plan you're buying.
For more details, check out this link. http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/C...p?locale=en_us
Here's the list (MSRP) pricing for extended service plans on touring bikes:
3 years $609; add $290 for wheel & tire coverage
4 years $814; add $290 w&t
5 years $999; add $290 w&t
6 years $1,204; add 365 w&t
7 years $1,494; add $365 w&t
Add $150 surcharge if purchased after more than 90 days from the in-service date or mileage is greater than 2000 miles.
All of these ESP prices are negotiable. I paid $967 for a 5 year HD extended service plan including wheel and tire for my 2010 SEUC. This was 25% off the MoCo's MSRP of $1289.

I'm an 'anti-warranty' kind of guy too, except I've bought them on my last two motorhomes, last two passenger cars and all four Harley's! Haven't gotten much of a return, but then, since you never know, bought one recently for my Ultra anyway.
As others have stated, you must buy it before the factory warranty runs out. In my case, the price of the H-D service contract would go up $150 after 90 days of the bike purchase. I called around and bought the policy through another H-D dealer that offered a lower price than my selling dealer. Wanted to buy the policy local, but sometimes I get a little irritated always paying more to support my dealer.
Probably will never need it, hopefully I’ll never need it, but still worth the piece of mind to me.

Odds are you are wasting your money on buying an extended warranty (or whatever you call it). Bank some cash and insure yourself, much more economical.

Once you start factoring in:
- heated grips
- heated seats
- garage door openers
- cruise control
- abs brakes
- rider to passenger intercom
- CB radio
- XM radio
- AM/FM radio
- Speakers
- Passenger volume and CB controls
- Security system
- power locks
- gauges
- lighting in the saddlebags and TP
- Chrome Wheels
- the hand controls to manage all these electronics
- not to mention the cost of an engine or transmission repair,
Heck, a simple tow to a dealer or home could easily run hundreds of $s if you break down while you're away on a trip.

Maybe they would but I too would be reluctant to enter into a 3rd party deal. A 2 party dispute is hard enough to resolve. A 3 party dispute is impossible.
