   My dealer is telling me that any change to the exhaust will affect the warranty. EVEN SLIP ON'S !!!
   Is that a bunch of crap or what?

[CVOMOE!!]

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me.  Why do they sell pipes and SERT's if they weren't going to warranty it.  I've never heard of anyone having warranty problems with aftermarket pipes installed unless it was the pipes that were the cause of the problem.  Basically I know nothing aobut this though.  Just an opinion.

Cheers, CVOMOE

I think you need to find a new dealer that values your business and will work with you. Or you might be happy with a bone stock bike. Or don't buy an extended Warranty, wait a little while before making changes and do what you want to the bike. Eventually Warranties expire and you're on your own. Then you can do what you want since you're assuming full responsibility anyway. I have an '85 Wide Glide and a home-built Custom. There's no warranty. My '03's Warranty is expired and I didn't have one claim on it anyway. Anything happens, I'm on my own. We spend so much money on performance, chrome, OCD, etc. that if something breaks, you fix it. Personally, I'd find a new dealer who'll work with you and develop a relationship with. This dealer sounds like a d**k. "You pay your money and you take your chances". Me, "I just want to be free to ride my machine, and not be hassled by the man..."!
Hoist!

Then why does Harley sell the slip ons and the book says that all is ok if installed by the dealer?  My dealer has never hassled me over the past eight years on five bikes after I changed all myself.  I agree, find another dealer.

You can do pipes, sert and aircleaner and not affect warranty. If they are saying something else, it is bull, and they do not want your business.  

Tell me the last time you saw a Harley with stock anything except one a day or two old.  This warranty sh$#@ is gettin old.

The dealer did tell me adding a cam, or going frther than the above, may affect engine issues, but rarely may that happen. It wouldnt affect the rest of the bike re warranty coverage.
