They had to promise full trade in value, which they gave me on a Sportster within 3 or 4 months! Of course looking back... God that is by far the worse bike I have ever owned bar none!!! I would almost literally have to work on every time I wanted to ride it. I wasn't aware of Lock-Tite at the time (neither was HD) and I would either have to tighten things before every ride or risk losing them! The stupid tail had micro cracks (hence why almost every one bought an aftermarket seat) and the head light bulb would blow at least once a week it seemed. I owned two HDs after this bike but once I got my '88 V-Max... I never looked back. I honestly thought that it was just part of riding a motorcycle to have to drag out a tool box before every ride until I went Japanese...
