Also alot of these companies are failing, not from the virus, just failing due to lack of capital. Thouroughly research whoever.

Better find out if whoever you use for repairs regularly will honor the warranty company you choose before you pay for it.^ this

And check the coverage that each provides....compare apples to apples.^ and this.

Why not simply go with the Harley ESP rather than another company? I seems to me with the Harley ESP you are covered at any Harley dealer anywhere around the country...which is important if you tour.
Harley's ESP only goes up to 60,000 miles. After that, you have to go after market ESP.

You can only renew within a couple of months of the current extended warranty expiring. I tried that game at 59k miles but I was to far out. I still have three months to go on this extended warranty and 62k miles and I'm racking up the miles pretty fast right now....with this social distancing. And motorcycles everywhere here in Arizona......seems like everybody is off work and out riding. Every day is looking like the weekend.

If nothing rolls across the stage that screams "gotta have it" at the Dealer Meeting in August, I'll buy another 5 years for this one.

Regarding cost: I shopped around to four dealers and found a vast difference in price. Once I had the best prices I called back to dealer #4 who is closer to my house and also the dealer I want to do repairs when I am not on the road. I asked dealer #4 to match the 48 month from dealer #3 ($2654) and they agreed. Of course they agreed! That's expensive, but for me its peace of mind for the next 6 years (I just bought a 2020 CVO Limited in December).
Months of coverage past original warranty Dealer #1 Dealer #2 Dealer #3 Dealer #4
12 (1 yr) $1539 - $1399 -
24 (2 yr) $1954 $2604 $1724 $2099
36 (3 yr) $2489 $2718 $2164 $2650
48 (4 yr) $3109 $3383 $2654 $2870 (Purchased at $2654)
60 (5 yr) $3504 $3786 $3169 $3200
So, if you are new to this game the best advice is to shop around. I'm sure you can find a much better deal than I got but I enough shopping was enough - I've got other things to do.
Ride safe.

I did know that the cost is negtiable and the discount dealerships sell the extended warranty for less than the others. And, I've bought the extended warranty since 2002 (18 years) and they've all more than paid for theirselves. If you ride and put a lot of miles on your bike (especially those long haul trips) then it's money well spent. If your bike is just garage jewelry and you only put a few thousand miles a year on the clock then that extended warranty might not be worth the money.

And JC, Jim Palmer can hook you up with an ESP regardless of current mileage as long as you do it before your current ESP expires.

It's a bummer that the H-D ESP is so restrictive about renewal but then again it seem they know that when the miles roll on $$$$ will be spent, lol. A few years ago a friend had to almost quit riding for several months so his mileage didn't sneak over that limit and prevent the ESP renewal.
