I purchased the HD ESP on my used bike not knowing much about it or other warranties. I just recently learned that the HD ESP extends your lifetime warranty with HD if the dealer did the install. I have a Road Zepplin seat that the previous owner had installed and does not function. It is covered under the ESP and so are the 80 other items that he had installed prior to me owning the trike. I know that the HD ESP can be a pain but for a $50 deductible it can be worth it if you have major issues. Just my 2 cents.
"Lifetime warranty" Never heard of HD having that. & yrs was the max as far as I know.

I wouldn't own a Harley let alone a Triglide without the 7 year extended warranty. My last 4 Harleys had lots of problems, thankfully I had the ESP on each one - repairs paid for the warranty's.
I had the RZ seat and had to have it repaired - the ESP did not cover that or any of the accessories I added later....only what was on the bike when I bought it.
Since I've just retired I'm glad I have the EXP - it gives me piece of mind knowing I don't have to worry about repairs since I don't have the resources now to pay for them.
The bottom line to any warranty is the how the dealer deals with it. Some would rather not bother and will pass the cost to the customer while others will go to bat for the customer and get them the best deal on the service. Unfortunately not everyone has a dealer on their side.

I've been down many times. In the USA and Canada and have NEVER had an issue with the EXP. The dealers fixed the problems immediately. One dealer (American Harley Davidson in N. Tonawanda, NY) actually took off a part from one of their bikes to fix my broken water pump problem a couple years ago - - on a Sunday and after hours too = fantastic dealer.
If you have the tools, time, place and expertise to fix your own bike - that's fantastic, but there are thousands that do not have any for those atributes so an EXP is a great thing to have - - IF they can afford it.
Have to ask you Gary is your bike stock or do you have any after market parts on it, that makes a big difference when traveling, you could get lucky and have a good dealer to do the repair and forget what he sees that could flag it, some dealers won't. When traveling and you have after market exhause or a tuner and host of other things that could flag your warranty, you take a chance for sure, that is why I ask you Gary is yours is stock, if yes no wonder they worked on it with your ESP.
Basically it comes down to this, ESP's are good to a point for some people that keep their bikes in stock form, otherwise not, if you don't travel what so ever and stay local and your dealer lets you do what you want, good for you, if that dealer is doing work on yours and some one from harley comes in and see's this, that dealer is up the creek without a paddle and that person's warranty is now void, have heard this from a reliable source.
All for now Trampas
