[QUOTE="sapest, post: 1451845, member: 29340"] Its not about selling new machines. Dealer profits are in parts and service, not much in new sales. The issue is that machines over a certain age tend to have more instances of stripped threads, bad fasteners, bush fixes, rusty bits, etc. When the service tech runs into these problems, and the owner gets a call telling him that his quoted service work is now double the cost, no one is happy. Tell your dealer that you are aware they may run into the occasional age related issue, and maybe you can work something out to get the service work you want done. When it come to ‘old tech’, like carbs, it may be that there is simply no one left at the dealership that has any experience fixing them. I sold my ‘84 Shadow when ‘Steve the Bike Wrench’ retired. -Steve [/QUOTE]
