I cannot say if the following rumors are true. I was told them by a well placed source, and confirmed just today by another so-so source. BUT, that is not enough to hang ones hat on...but they are interesting, and make a bit of sense.
1. HD is going to tighten up their warranty even further with the 2020 models. Supposedly adding or modifying anything electrical will have a negative impact on ones warranty. The implications of this are huge.
The reasoning for the above is that MoCo has made so much more $ after agreeing to the illegal Consent Decree that they want to expand on it.
This next rumor would be a welcome one. As an owner of a 2019 TG I hope it is true!!!
2. A new, Non-HD branded, warranty will become available later this year. It will function like an aftermarket Extended Warranty, BUT IT WILL BE Effective during the first 2 years of the factory warranty.
This is HUGE. It will allow one to do whatever they want to their bike without being concerned about HD's overly restrictive (and illegal) factory warranty.
This new ESP will not have restrictions on it like the HD warranty or the HD branded ESP.
I hope the first one is not true, but would not surprise me if it was.
I hope the second one IS true...and it certainly makes sense that someone sees a market for it.
Time will tell.
