Is it a Lemon?
#21
I wasn't having problems with my 08 Ultra, I just wasn't happy with it. It was time for the 35k service and it needed a new rear tire, possibly some other things too so I started looking at trading. Started shopping around some and went to a Dealer about 60 miles north, they offered my 14k for mine.
I requested a quote on line that night from a dealer about 80 miles south on one they had in stock, (used 09). They called the next day and offered me 17k for mine. Two hours later I was looking at it and left a deposit.(Sunday) Tuesday I left on the 09 and love it. Went from an 08 with 35k miles to an 09 with 6557 miles and dropped my payment $6.00 a month.
I say trade it off but make sure you shop around for the best deal. Big difference from one dealer to another.

Taking everything you have said at face value, dump it!. Whilst a fight with Harley or the dealer (although he doesn't seem to bad) MIGHT get you something it will be a protracted battle and the odds are you will only get a partial victory anyway (no pun intended). It hurts like heck to admit it, but for the most part we are "little" people to the Executives and they will tend to look at "what is cost effective". They will not do anything until it becomes a trend. I have had a problem with a brand new Ford that in their eyes was not a problem, but I noticed that Ford will now invest in new door attachment technology to eliminate door and wind noise issues because it is showing up in significant numbers. BTW, want to guess what my problem was/is?

Dumped it. 2011 road glide ultra with a 103. Dealer offered a deal that could have only been sweeter if the bike were paid off. He bought mine for low retail, and made adjustments on floor stock. He needs room for the 2012 bikes... So all in all, I'm happier, but still screwed as far as the money goes...
