You know what I would do if I were in this position...

Tell them to go ahead, and then refuse to pay. When they won't give you your bike, call the cops and have your rego papers on you. The cops will demand they give you the bike (as you are the rightful owner) and they will be left to chase you for the cash.

I have seen this done.

Looks like Its going to be sorted by the end of the week ( refund)

I have heard from HD and spoken to the service manager all looks well, HD said(Quote) there will be some people replaced in that store, there have been to many complains (unquote)

 Thanks to all of you for your supportive comments even you Hmmm2  lol  very taste full comment .

Good result, good stuff...

Good to hear HD Aust has sorted them out for you.

There is also Implied warranties, see blow, this warrantly is a warrantly that the buyer should expect a product to mantian a useful life under normal use, usually  beyond the normal manufacturers warrantly period. No I'm that an expert in this area, but I have used it in the past with great effect, with electrial goods.

Usually all it takes is to say Implied warranty & they come to the party, if they don't you have the option to go consumer affairs & ask for a ruling.

I know this is about  HD & a dealer not doing the right thing with a bike under the 24 mth warrantly, but it may be useful for those of us who have been screwed by HD after a bike is out of their warranty.

 

 

 

Well let's face it, most of the time we expect nothing to go wrong, that is why we buy things new, But good on you for for sticking to your guns.
