    Mish my bike is brand new, pipes and filter were fitted before delivery. Not sure if they did a dyno tune on it but I haven't noticed anything to question whether they did or didn't.

    Hi Onion I've got it all sorted now it's sounding and running like a dream Brian at Eastern Big Twin I cannot sing praises to him loud enough he does amazing work and has also spent the time learning and understanding the V&H short shots schematics that he's worked out ways to set n tune specifically for these pipes ... Blah blah I'm not really tech spec fluent but I got what he meant about how he's learnt n understands what kind of setup it needs rather than ... Here's the generic online download tools guide ... Was worth every cent spent

    Any place in SYDNEY that could install and tune Short Shots for me? (Along with a FuelPak and a new air intake.)

    I'm not overly mechanical and would like everything to be done perfectly by someone I can trust.

    Thanks all.

    I would be pissed off with the dealer to get your money back tell them what you had to do to get it right and Don't leave till you get something otherwise they'll keep doing it

    Yeah agreed, stay away from HD dealership, especially Dandenong, just got my 1200 custom back after 3 weeks off the road for a high rev idle issue, got jerked around, had to constantly call them, they would never return calls, got told all sorts of bs stories about it being an icam, ecm, wiring issue, turned out to be a faulty throttle position sensor... DOH ! when I gave it to them I told them it has to be sensor related. Won't say there incompetent, just too much work, not enough mechanics and a massive FU jack attitude, wouldn't provide a loan bike, just to worst after sales experience I've EVER had.

    I've been jerked around and told bullshit stories for 3 weeks for a problem that should've taken 3 days !!! This is my first Harley and I've only had it for two months... Pissed off with the whole Harley experience, Bike won't be going back there and after this bs I don't even think the next bike will be a Harley !!!

    Sounds like we bought same time ... It's not the Harley so much as it's the people whom wouldn't know a wrench from their own asshole!!!!

    They didn't take too well in the city when I challenged their 'cut n paste' what we did at first service and look only four days later paying someone else to do/fix your mess 

    Am most definitely keeping my bike under the watchful eyes of Doc Hogs or Eastern Big Twin Bayswater from here on in .... They'll never see another cent from me HH or Peter Stevens I'd rather fly interstate to buy parts or merch before I step back into their stores

    Thats what forums like this are for guys. As stated before, alot of us have had similar experencies, and have now moved away from Dealerships

    people on here will steer you in the right direction, it will get sorted and you'll be riding and laughing in no time

    I hate it when guys talk about it being their last Harley, just because the shop service sucks.
