HD dealer feedback on oil filter relocation kit
My HD dealer said the relocation kit will absolutely void the factory warranty based on changing the engineering on my 2017 107 motor and again on my 2020 114 motor. The real issue is as follows: Harley is keeping it quite about the massive amount of motor rebuilds/replacements due to the M-8 sumping problems on the 2017 and 2018 107 engines and the stage upgrade motors within those years. I had two motors changed with a total of 6 months down time during two summers of riding on the 107 M-8. Their original oil pump design was not balanced in pulling out the same amount of oil that was pumped in causing foaming of excess oil in the crankcase, not being able to pump foam around the engine and burning up the motors. Usually one had to do lots of interstate riding without stopping causing that buildup of oil in the crankcase so some people never experienced the problem. The dealers are extremely sensitive to anyone modifying the lubrication system under warranty. Harley eventually fixed the oil pump with upgrades and my 2017 107 and 2020 114 ran fine but they still would void my warranty with the relocator kit.
If you can get a service writer to offer something in writing saying the kit is okay then go for the relocation kit.
