I'd bet you dollars to doughnuts that the warranty may be suspect in Canada. When my SEEG broke down in Nelson, part of the reason the warranty folks wanted me to get my bike out of country was because of all the issues with "Screamin' Eagle" parts being only able to be imported by Trev Deely. The warranty company felt it would take months of paper work to cross all the bridges, and since we lived on the East Coast, just thought it best if we could at least get the bike back on the right side of the continent. Seems like one would want to tread carefully in these murky waters since the MoCo and the warranty folks seem able to point at the strangest of things as to why they will not cover something.
