Jerry, You're right, no skin off your nose.....(understand, no skin off of mine either). I also.......many years ago, was employed in a dealership. In fact, one of our mechanics was also the "key" holder to the local drag strip in our area.
Many of us used to go up there right after work and unlock the gates and put on slicks and/or uncap header pipes and race for an hour or two. Upon occassion, something........like a transmission or rearend would break. No problem, the next day or so at work, that item would get "WARRANTEED" in some customers car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I'm not saying that's proper or suggesting that is what happens frequently........but based upon NOT only my service mgrs input, but from other dealerships...(HD), I'd have to tell ya......Harley race parts DO get covered by warranty (NOT THE DEALER) and upon occassion, I believe a bike with one or more (non-HD parts) will have a problem.....and HD will end up covering the repairs.
Deal with the reality of that.
