BUT, this is a major purchase and a couple riders I know at work have suggested to me that this plan is worthwhile to have. One guy has a horror story about a cam bearing going bad about 8 months out of the Manufacturer's warranty and it cost well over the cost of the extended service plan to repair the motor.
Does anyone have some experience with the HD Extended Service Plan - good or bad - to share, or just general feelings about extended warranties?
Thanks for any responses in advance.

TWD - I bought the 4 year extended plan on my '07 Heritage and I think it is a worthwhile purchase. Parts of the extended coverage go into effect immediately. Be sure to get the tire coverage - it is definitely worth the small extra cost. They will offer you GAP insurance. This pays the difference between what the insurance company pays should you total the bike and what you owe on your contract to the financing institution. Cost $599.00 - a one time cost. Definitely look into this. I have it and feel secure knowing that should something happen of a catastrophic nature I won't be making payments for years on something I can't ride or can't be fixed. This also applies if your bike is stolen. Just something to think about.
