You'll have to listen in to this podcast episode to get the full scoop and find out what other things we learned and other tips we give!

If your dealership says they will actually void your Harley warranty for such things then never step foot in that dealership again and tell all your Harley buddies.

So, what does this really mean for you as a Harley-Davidson owner? Make sure you have a very open line of communication with your local dealership service writer and mechanics. But, Harley-Davidson leaves much discretion to its dealerships to handle matters such as this.
The fact of the matter is that you're still at risk and internal Harley-Davidson policies have not changed.

Well, I did that for you and talked to many sources inside Harley-Davidson dealerships. The unreliable motorcycle forums are full of bad information because nobody actually researches the matter. Podcast-So, you may have heard the vicious rumors going around that Harley-Davidson dealerships are voiding warranties if you install aftermarket exhaust, remove catalytic converters, or install electronic fuel injection (EFI) tuners on your new 2017 model equipped with the Milwaukee-Eight motor. Harley-Davidson's new eight-valve Big Twin in 107-inch variant.
