I have contacted HD Auastralia, who are going to look into it. I spoke to the warrenty claims person and he reckons he has only had one other case the same as mine,which I am gussing must have been Limit 1 as this bloke reckons all warrenty claims go through him.

 

I received a phone call from the dealers this afternoon who said that HD Australia had agreed to cover all repairs.

hi to the bob files my 2009 has done 35000 pretty hard km and the old ride it like ya stole it still applies no real issues the head bearings are common so is the tank issiue mine had efi probs that just shut it down faulty map i think P S are good at keeping secrets never heard of broken boltsa but then WHO still runs the factory BITUMEN SCRAPER NO WONDER BOLTS BREAK two ina one samson power pipe gotta fall of ta scrape it long live basket range

hi all i,ve got a 2010 wide glide and my rubber engine mount shit it self around 10000 km, which made my exhurst bracket bolt snap in my transmission case, darwin dealer has a bad rep when coming to honouring warranty, 20000 km on the clock other than mount and bolt no other probs  

Hey Tuc, do not waste your time with the Darwin shop,if they start to fuck you around  like they did with me,phone HD Ausralia. Four months of being fucked around by the shop....fourty minutes after a phone call problem was sorted. Now just waiting on parts.

humbug worked that one out when i rode it off the floor a year ago, just done a trip to qland had 16000 km service and some other shit done at townsville custom cycles money well spent recommend if your over that way

Thanks for the info tuc,I am heading that way next year. At the moment I use Motorcycle Territory in Hickman Street Winnellie and would recommend them

The needle bearing is now here and the bike is booked in for Monday morning,so far this has taken five months. Photos taken on phone so sorry about quality.

Nasty. Worse than mine, externely anyway. Glad you've got it all sorted.

Picked the bike up yesterday evening and rode home and parked up,when I put the bike on the stand I could hear a knocking noise coming from the primary area. Turned the bike off,when I started it this morning it did not sound to good. Noise dissapated when bike lifted off stand,so I rode back to the bike shop this morning,and they promptly took the bike in for checking,
A while later a staff member came and handed me the keys to a brand new softtail and said they would call me when they find out what the problem is.

 Take the Softail down the pub, sell it for cash and cut your losses !  That is fucked !
