I will not buy anything Harley for my bike. That's why I bought an s&s big bore kit,Torrington bearings,a pcv,woods cams.
I refuse to support a company that doesn't stand behind their product.
Joke of a company

I have given up on the ESP paying..but I have spoke with the GM and I feel he is being receptive and understanding of my frustrations. He seems willing to help..I will let you guys know what I end up with..

Just an update..without going into too much detail, the GM stepped up and is really helping me out. I was talking to a local indy that is very reputable on the forums about building the motor if the dealer did not help me out. When I told him what they were doing for me, he said it was a smoking deal. So hopefully I will be back on the road in about 3 weeks..have to send the cases in and get new ones stamped.

Good for you. Can't you just buy SE cases and save the trouble of sending yours in? Only five hundred or so
