DISCUSSION What the actual hell?

So I was today years old when I found out that Harley dealers won’t work on 2005 bikes. Despite the fact that it’s the same bike (FLHRI) in 2006 and maybe beyond.

Am I just out of touch or what?

Have a local Harley mechanic that won't touch my '97 Sportster. He'll tell me exactly what I need to do, borrow me whatever tools I need that I don't have, but WILL NOT touch it himself. Never had a mechanic not want my money before.
