07 flht
gentlemen
I'm new to this forum and just bought an 07 FLHT been riding metric bike most of my life. My question is I bought an extra 5 years warranty for around 2000 $ is it worth it or is my 2 years warranty good enought. Most of my fellow riders tell me I'm going to need it.Any thought on this.

RE: 07 flht
Congrats on the new ride!
The Extended wattanty is "usually" a way dealerships try to get more $$$.
The typical Harley owner ends up adding things, like engine mods, that can jeapordize the validity of warranties ~ both factory nad/or extended. If you keep a decent relationship with your dealership AND they are decent, they will probably work with you either way.
If you decide you don't want / need the extended warranty, you can always sell it back. As mentioned above, it can help when the time comes to sell.

2K Wow! I paid 1300.00 for 7 years on my 02, You do know you can wait till the last day of your factory warranty to buy the extended, and you can buy it from any HD dealer, some will sell cheaper cause is marked up to hell and back. Another thing, look at your end date, most extended warranties run concurent with your factory one, so you may have only got 3 years extra coverage.

RE: 07 flht
Is there any advantage to getting an extended warranty earlier rather
than later? If it's not a lot cheaper up front, I can't see why everyone
wouldn't just wait until the 2 year is about to expire before extending it.
2k for an extended warranty sounds outrageous. I think they quoted
me $1300 for an extra 5 years(7 total) on my '06 in April.

Personally, i would save the $2000 for the important stuff like true duals and serious performance enhancements. On the other hand, some people feel better with the "piece of mind" the ext. warranty gives. I did not go for the ext warranty with my new FLH.

Maybe I paid a little too much, dont through any thing at me. I paid about 2600 for the seven year unlimited mileage warranty that include the first 5 services and tire and wheel coverage. I would rather have the peace of mind and deductible if something goes south. I had to replace a rear shock on my 2002 road king and the warranty came in handy.
