Does Harley Davidson ACTUALLY honor their Warranties?

Having worked for Harley and auto repair shops for almost 20 years in various positions including as a warranty administrator, mods generally do not "void" a warranty. Unless the manufacturer has a process to "flag" a VIN for certain mods, ie, VW when they hook up their laptop and see a flashed ECM, they don't have a way to void anything. It is more of a dealer by dealer situation. It comes down to the dealer answering the question of whether or not the failure is a result of poor manufacturing, misuse, or a result of the modification. If a dealer feels the mod caused the problem, then they will not file a warranty claim for reimbursement of repairs.

Harley died in 1999. The Company after that became a caricature of what once was.

Except warranty void crap is all illegal now. Just ask the PC world

So you put a turbo on a bike to make 250 hp 🤔
You got robbed 😮
A busa with a full akrapovic system and a power commander will make 300hp with out a turbo
