...anything can happen in NJ. After all, it is New Jersey.

Still, I'm guessing there's some left out details that led up to "cops escorting off the property".

But I'm sure it's an interesting tale, let's hear it.

You need to get out more there's plenty of dealerships with poor service... Just sayin'.

List was presented with explanations of forum recommendations of each performance issue. Inquires occur concerning service contract status. When it was determined that my bike was out of warranty, service department did not agree that I needed the parts and disclaimed that the 07 had heat issues and 6th gear chatter. When I said a lot of folks on the harley forum are having the same issue as I, was told to get off the property or I would be escorted but cops. Items I was looking for was the IDS upgrade, heat shields, parade fan, oil cooler.

So you asked you to pay for mods and they said no we won't take your money and if you don't leave we will call the cops to escort you off the property?

From my view, this was simple. Here's a list of parts. Here's my cash.

The worst service department....Harley in Rahway NJ. After paying cash for an 07 ultra, went back to buy the items this forum recommended to fix the heat demon problem and the 6th gear klank problem, and after it was determined my bike was out of warranty and I had no extended plan, was told to get off the property or I would be escorted by the cops. Mind you, I was wanting to pay for the parts. I left clearly feeling like Your a cash cow if you have a warranty or service plan and a pain in the *** if you don't.

The best service department....Staten Island NY. When ever I go in there, I get treated like a valued customer and I see other customers being treated like valued customers. Much tutoring goes on there. Tips and tricks. For Staten Island Harley, you are not just a parts or service sale, you are a valued relationship.
You mention you had cash and wanted to pay for the parts but you don't say anything about the labor to install them. Were you wanting them to intall these parts for free, they refused and a heated argument insued with you telling them about the forum members problems and fixes? I don't remember ever reading a post about any year Harley having a 6th gear klank problem.
