After reading this post, Im so glad I opted for a mechanical reverse. whole thing was cheaper than the 1,3** they were talking about.
The only way to fly backwards if ya ain’t got the extendo warranteeo, is to go mechanical.

The Senior Pass is a must do for us old guys that camp. Last year 2 of us stayed at NFS park right on the lake with electricity, water, grill and improved tent pads. $12. Unbelievable deal. And I left my cell phone I discovered 80 miles down the road in another state. I called the campground with my friends phone, they said they would look for it and call them back in 15 minutes. I did, Park Ranger found it and met me half way at the state line. How awesome was that? Great folks and the Senior Pass is a great deal. 1/2 price plus other free cg benefits.
Yes, I have my old farts' pass.......BUT, when we went to see that "Crazy Horse partial statue" near Mt. Rushmore they get around the pass by charging 14 Bucks to park your motorcycle!!!!!! = major rip! (no Senior discount either)
.....at Mt. Rushmore just down the street, they too just charged for parking, but the dude gave me A SENIOR DISCOUNT for being over 63 and it only cost me 5 bucks to park!
....I guess these 2 parks are state parks and not federal?............ Whatever.
Cheers!
My buddy sent his reverse motor to a rebuilder for right around $100. He said it was pretty easy to change out and took him about an hour.

I responded too another post on this issue earlier. My 14 TriGlide has had Two reverse motors replaced and after hardly using them at all. Seems as if they failed on flat surfaces ( backing out of my garage ). You are correct that price seems ridiculously astronomical and it sure shocked me when I saw it on the invoice. ( thank goodness for Extended Warranty )

Note their claim of "Lifetime Warranty" at the top of the page. And, no, I have no affiliation with them!!! Their video is very interesting.
The one on my used 2014 went out at about 11K miles. Thank God for the extended warranty.
There must a shop close to everyone that rebuilds starters, generators and alternators.
These are rebuildable I am sure.
"Yea!" for extended warranty on Harleys!............Normally, I dont buy extended warranties on cars and such.....but because I didn't know much about motorcycles when I bought my 2016 TG , so I opted to purchase it..............Warranty has saved my butt several times now! (and I only have appx. 30K miles on it so far)....I wouldn't be without all the warranty I can buy for my HD. (Gonna need it!)
...You know, I find it astonishing that HD has been building these motorcycles for maybe a hunnerd' years now? ...........WTF?
...Oh well, that's just me venting! .....maybe all motorcycles breakdown as much as the HD? (I admittedly don't have enough experience to say)......but still= DAMN!!!!!!
Cheers!

Hey Bill!
...I was at my Harley Dealer yesterday and had my clutch fluid drained and changed......while there, I spoke with my mechanic....He said they will no longer just exchange the defective reverse motors on warranty work (unless the housing or something severe happened to defective reverse motor)....instead, Harley is now making them use a rebuild kit for all reverse motor warranty work.............just tellin' what he said.
Cheers!
PS.
....also while I was at the dealer, I found my original 2 yr warranty had just expired......I "THOUGHT" I had purchased the extended warranty for an extra year when I bought the trike, but I did NOT.......................So I just went ahead and purchased another 3 yr warranty policy from HD........cost me a howling 2400 bucks!!!!!! (hope I never need it....but I bet I do).....I think someone told me that the computer info center alone is 3500 bucks should it ever fail....and it happens!
