G,day this is my first post & would like to hear some other riders experiences with new bikes purchased from harley dealers & also what you reckon about their service ( or lack of in my experience ) in my case. Not trying to bag dealers ( no names ) any way here is a story. After riding sports bikes for 20 years & growing up in a family of Harley heads I recently purchased a 2014 fatboy lo with stage 1 filter & v&h bigshots. Picked up the bike & was wrapped in my new bike although I considered it a $30k slug. Put up with it untill first service time,took back to dealer didn't want to whine about it ,paid $420 for first service,rode home only to see oil down the side of the bike. Check oil cold & oil is a full inch over full mark(COLD) had to muck around taking oil out of the tank to correct level on hot check & now after a few rides oil not spraying down the side of my bike. After talking to some family members who had heard the way my new bike runs I was introduced to Brian at Eastern Big Twin in Bayswater ,told the guy I'm pretty pissed about the whole Harley experience so far, I reluctantly let him have a crack at a full dyno tune.
Sorry this story is dragging on but here's the good part ,Brian was totally committed to changing my bike to what it should have always been,his customer service was a totally different thing to the dealer who sold me the bike. With a power vision licence & full dyno tune/ map I've gotta say I'm totally stoked how bloody good my bike is running,way more power ,way cooler, way smoother next to no farting & backfiring when backing off & much more rideable. Needless to say this bike will never go back for any servicing at the dealer. Ok I guess that's rant over, anyone got a similar story or are all Harley dealers this bad ?
Cheers
Haha na mate pretty sure I'm Mike just a happy new & now loyal customer of Brian's, my bike really was running shit before he tuned it.
Welcome
Welcome aboard Mike enjoy the ride.
