I feel as if a family member is in the hospital more than being pissed. Daytona is still 10 days away so I don't feel pressured by schedule. As I posted above, I have so many things to be grateful for and I still feel very fortunate that the worst didn't happen. Hopefully I'll get my bike back soon in the showroom condition cosmetically I left them with.
Let me let in all in a secret what I was thinking when I was experiencing all this bad juju. Is this as bad as being overseas in a combat zone? My answer, NO-WAY!

you are doing good let them get a look at it and then evaluate it from there. My buddies tow to the dealer was not so good get this soon as the flatbed tow truck was on the street to the dealer I mean yards away from it. the bike fell over on the truck and screwed up far more crap he was following behind in his GF's car!!!!! Hopefully it is nothing major and being a CVO you have more resources to go up the chain. Good luck hope they make it right with little pain.

We are up to two bikes straight out of the crate with totally screwed primarys at the shop. 2012 FLHX and 2012 FLTRXSE. It's bad when you can't complete a PDI without 1000$ in repairs. They have some primary/clutch issues right now at the factory.

Very few take the high road these days. So many are ready to lash out and be a bad *** at the dealership. That's why they get nowhere. I hope you get your ride back as soon as possible.

if you caught it soon enough the compinsator bolt could be an easy fix. but if it ran for to long it can raise hell in there. they will know when they drop the oil. Mine loosened up with 1000 miles on the bike. 45 days later I got bike back. that is not "normal" my dealer had some service manager issues those weeks. and I finally did lose my cool. but what was said was deserved. and it was to the owner of the dealership.

No pun intended. This is exactly why I wouldn't own Screamin' Eagle bike and enjoy far less bike, an '09 Ultra with my preferred choice of modifications and accessories.
Hope it's a relatively simple fix and in time for your trip to Daytona.
Good Luck,
Thorey
