Well, fuel pump gave out on one of the 08's. Slowly got worse and worse, but I lucked out, for just one time: it happened with less than three weeks of warranty left. Usually I am cursed and it works just the other way. |

The rest of the story is they got the fuel pump in in 3 days, replaced it. I guess the pump slowly decreased overall and not just sporadically because this is a whole different bike. I hadn't noticed the gradual loss of power. Props to HOH in Anchorage for fast turnaround. Larry |

mine just went out two nights ago. was riding to the bar to grab a drink and go two-stepping, but the bike died literally 2 blocks from the bar! Good thing a cab only cost $40 to get back home to grab the truck and a ramp. did you replace it yourself? |

No, they did it under warranty. That was the lucky part. Usually things break the day after warranty runs out, at least for me. |

Yep, these guys try real hard to be helpful. I don't know how they did that though unless the part was close to us or close to a fed ex hub or something. |

I don't know how they did that though unless the part was close to us or close to a fed ex hub or something.- I noticed whenever I would have something shipped to me in Anchorage, it would ALWAYS come in via 2-day shipping. Probably more to do with the fact that there's no possible 'ground' shipping method unless you take a detour through Canada, or load the ferry down with FedEx / UPS trucks. That's not to say that House of Harley isn't a good dealership, just that it seems 'norm' for two-day shipping and three-day turnaround. The same thing happened when I needed repair work done on my car... Parts were always in two days later, and fixed on the third day. |
