When I first bought my 03 chopper I wasn't even home yet and the gas tank sprung a leak at one of the attach points. Tank was sent to Wichita for repair and in 2 weeks all was great. That bike was a jewel, but got stolen, WITH a rotor lock in place.
Bought a new 04 chopper and my days in hell began on the way home with it. LOUD engine noise, after adjusting the valves several times, and replacing the heads with no good results, BDM shipped me a new engine. Same problem!!! Drove to Wichita and the factory guys told me that they had a problem with S&S piston fit for a while and that was my problem. New cylinders and pistons and i was on my way. 1200 miles later the problem was back. New S&S 124 solved the problem. Meanwhile, frontforks on the 03 never leaked, always leaked on the 04. After rebuilding the forks 4 times with different new parts every time, BDM shipped out a complete set of new forks. No leak now. ELECTRICAL nightmare began in 2005 costing me several tow bills to get it home, several hundred in parts and too many headaches. And we all know the solution now. BDM was always there for me until they changed their policy to not talking to owners except through a dealer. TOO many dealers know nothing about the product and only want your money. Getting answers to problems has been very frustrating. I have very mixed feelings about BDM now and that---is my 2 cents worth.
