All good SDCVO we all have our bitter experiences with shady Harley dealerships I am no exception living in central N.C. H.D. Mo. Co. apparently condones unethical behavior towards their customers. Wanted to mention 2 N.C. H.D. dealers I have had pitiful dealings with in both sales and service hoping to warn others from my misfortune
Found a `15 S.E.S.G 5033 mi. Bike had a color matched tour pack that I wanted at Smokin` Winston Salem, N.C. price was no great deal at retail, but bike that I wanted. Traded in 2 days before my buying and had been in shop for mandatory H.D. corp. used bike trade in inspection before resale and signed off by a H.D. tech.
Being very mechanical skilled demo ride revealed this CVO had clutch issues, warped ft. brake rotors, no manuals and various other issues during the sales deal. Smokin` shop told no problems found when bike was put in shop after test ride. Bike still under factory H.D. warranty and all concerns very repairable I was not concerned about getting everything resolved at a different dealer. I interview many N.C. dealerships and got all kinds of hooey A-Z.
Another example of dealer crap MY CVO in shop with Tilley H.D. Salisbury, N.C. bike still w/factory warranty, they tried to charge me for diagnostics, because "no problem found told again, again... bike at "H.D. specs. & standards".
Unbelievable that most dealers lie so much they believe themselves! Love Harley's, but the above mentioned Gold Wing looks pretty great from my point of view.
