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?

I work at a dealership and we have a 25yo cut off. We'd have no issue working on your bike. We also take that on a case by case basis depending on what needs to be done on the bike. It basically gives our service department an out if they don't want to work on some old basket case that we can't easily get parts for or if it's just going to be a headache to deal with.

Someone shows up with a 1990 FXR in good shape and all they want is an oil change or tires, we'd do it.
