I don't know what harley is up to, but I bet everyone will be enlightened when they have sold most of the MY17 CVO bikes. And the focus will then be on the MY18.
Great diversion tactic.
They can't afford a major recall on the engines or kits and then put pressure on the remaining inventory of MY17 CVO still on the dealers floor. Especially since this is imploding on the new release of the MY18.
They then add the troublesome design to the MY18 bike but then removes the liquid cooling side of the engine which they were touting to be the next best thing.
There sure seems to be a lot of very deceptive meetings behind closed doors to keep this all hush , hush from the consumers it seems to me.
They could be facing a devastating economic impact from this if they continue to have this kind of business model moving forward.
I have contacted Harley 4 times and still no great response from them or the dealer as of yet and my bike is still there.
Consumers affairs was supposed to contact the dealer and send a rep out but I have heard nothing yet.
Bro I am beginning to lose it now.
I am trying to maintain my patience because my local dealer has lost the service manager who was supposed to verify from HD any issues with stage 4 before we proceeded- obviously he didn't, sales manager, general manager, finance manager all within the last few weeks and I am stuck with a POS right now with no one to get a definitive answer from on this.
Shady paperwork trails, I put 12k straight up on my bike in accessories to blacken it out from front to back as well as the stage 4 kit. And I am left with a bike that I have ridden 12-15 times since owning it on 6/3/2017 and it has sumped 6 of those times.
And now I have a very shifty situation with my local installing dealer.
I am going to call them Monday again for the 5th time and give them an ultimatum that if I do not hear from someone from corporate by this coming Wednesday I will be contacting some good ole boys to but some heat on them to get my answers that I am looking for.
I guess time will tell.
The worst thing is the weather is finally beautiful here in VA and I and not riding.
SUCKS BRO
