WI only gets 6 mos of riding season. So I try to ride every day. If I buy a new bike and a part is back ordered for 3 weeks and there is only 8 weeks left to ride, I would expect a repair within a week or a loaner of a used bike.
If things aren't done that way, I'll stick to buying used bikes. My bike, that I bought when it was 8 years old, has fired up everytime, 23k miles in 2 and a half seasons.

Some white collar guy in York should walk onto the production floor, grab the needed part(s) and call fedex.

if it was anything other than a vehicle most people would be demanding that the get a new replacement item , not a repair . so i think expecting them to either get the part expedited from HD or to steal one off another bike to be reasonable .
having been a customer service rep i know that keeping a customer happy is much better for your business than pissing him off ,even if it means you have to wait a few weeks to sell the donor product .

When I worked at a car dealer we would pull parts off an unsold new car if we had to , it's called customer service.

Good luck, OP. Let us know what happens.
This is why Harley has the 50 mph limit on the first 100 (I think its 100) or so miles on new bikes. If bad parts are going to fail or fall off from bad assembly, it will likely happen in the first 100 miles.
