I never buy extended plans on anything except...
My last 2 HDs I've purchased the ESP after the 2-year factory.
Both bike$ $pun crank$ after the factory warranty e$x$pired. I don't need to list the part$ from crank$, bearing$, oil pump$, pi$ton$, cylinder$, labor, et$c.
I won't bother to list here the other items that have been covered with the ESP. After the first time, I just consider it part of owning a (newer) HD.
As others have noted, it's nice when I do have to take the bike in for something for which I don't have the equipment to fix,
I ask them to check for anything else that needs attention... fuel pump, compensator, alternator/stator, HK radio, etc. etc. covered...
For both bikes, the ESP has paid for itself at least 4 times over.
Oh, and the wheel/tire coverage is great also.
I realize it's a gamble -- it's paid off for me. And I'll continue to take the coverage until it doesn't pay. YMMV.

Hello all, forum newbee here. Bought a bagger today. 2012 Ultra Classic Peace Officer. Used, 8,000 miles. Still has one year left on the two year unlimited HD warranty. My question, what is your opinion on buying the extended warranty? Bought the bike from a dealer and they strongly recommend the purchase (naturally) due to the amount of options and electronics on the bike. $1400 for 5 added years. Pros? Cons? Waste? I am inclined to buy it for the peace of mind. I have until Monday to decide. Thanks in advance. Guido
