Joe, sorry to hear of your bad experience with Northshore Harley. I bought my bike from them 3 years ago on recommendation from several satisfied friends. They were very efficient in handling a couple of minor warranty fixes for me. Have noticed of late that it appears their service dept. quality has been slipping. Thank goodness I do most of my own maintenance. Don't know whether it is the quality of the techs or the management but either way it is the management that it ultimately responsible. Good idea to take the route you are taking. If that doesn't do it I wouldn't hesitate to go to the owner, he may not be aware of the situation. They need to know that in such a bad economy the difference between sucess and failure in business under present conditions is very narrow. I have referred several buyers to them in the past but until I see marked improvement I will not continue to do so. Good luck with your efforts and hope to meet you on the road sometime.
