I didn't know Harley ever made a digital gauge.  What gauge is that?

[GregKhougaz]

I'm guessing the oil temperature / level gauge.

Likely not.  Most P&A warranty is 90 days.  Don't think that particular gauge is serialized though.  And even if it is a parts counter guy isn't going to look that close.  So go buy a new one then return the old one in the new part's box.

Wait, was that my outside voice again.....

Don, I did not know you were so sneaky!

And 90 day warranties for expensive parts is stupid.  An asinine an antiquated position that manufacturers that care about their customers gave up years ago.  So screw 'em.

Even worse.  More so when we stop to realize that often a P&A part is an impuluse buy.  See it on the wall or counter at a dealership and grab as go.  Then might be a weekend a three or five before we finally have time to install it.  So by the time we use it we already have no warranty.  That kind of limitation is parsimonious and pusillanimous.  Thank god there's an aftermarket.

Who respects their end user customers more.  Harley who will take our $500 for the (for example) spun aluminum speedo/tach instrument in the P&A book and offers 30 day warranty or someone like Dakota Digital who puts the same price on a fully digital instrument with a lot more bells and whistles and says we're good for two years?  Chicken chits.

None of those are worth a chit.  Had two at different times and both failed like yours.  Never again (at least on this item).   It is a piece of crap imo and should be discontinued.

Agree...  I only bought one...it lasted about two months...
