I can understand the rationale of restricting specific SE parts, but it's very frustrating when you can't purchase an SE part for an SE motorcycle.
I bought a 2009 SE Road Glide, then spent a pile of money buying a docking kit, 2 up detachable Tour Pak mount, King Tour Pak, rear speakers, premium Tour Pak rack, and the auxiliary tail/brake light kit for the Tour Pak. I then try to purchase a Screamin Eagle insert for between the lights on the Tour Pak. The Parts Manager at a local dealer tells me that I CAN'T buy the insert because it's a restricted SE part number. I politely tell him that I have a Screamin Eagle motorcycle and that I can provide a serial number, and that I can bring in my bike to prove it. I am told that because my $40k Screamin Eagle Road Glide didn't come with a Tour Pak, I can't buy the part.
This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
