Default 2007 ULTRA BLUES

past 2 months o ring in oil pump was folded over not letting oil leave motor entirely motor sumped.
Ran it like this for 300 miles. Did it hurt motor? plus all this transmission whine and 6th gear rattle.
My dealer just offered to buy it back? Poll !!!!!Would you take this offer or should I ride it out further to see what HD will do on the trans.

I wouldn't trade my RKC for anything (2000+ miles). I can't wait for the 08s to come out so everyone will leave the 07s alone.

I would do a trade for the same just for piece of mind, tell him you want a new one from the factory.

Do you like the bike, what would you do if you took the deal. Ask them what they can do to fix it. Make sure it's noted that the bike ran with this problem for 300 miles. Find out all the options before jumping on this deal. Then you can make an educated decision.

I agree with BH, that this bike is now Omen'd. And, you should take the buy back and get a new one. I'm not normally superstitious, but I believe that when you buy a bike, it needs to run (at least the first 1000 miles) without any major issues before it is considered "Blessed."

Others may have different opinions, but this is just my own belief.

Definitely take the buy back if it's a full refund. Also I would rather have a bike that hasn't been torn apart by the dealer even if they supposedly fix the problems in the future.
