So I am checking into extended warranties for my 2015 street glide. I am putting about 16-19 thousand miles a year on my bike so I am thinking a extended warranty might be a good idea. Since the members on here are so good and many...what did you pay for a 5 additional years of warranty? I am getting quoted 1900.00 ..which is about 375 a year. Doesn't sound unreasonable to me but I wanted to get a feel for what if other paid..thanks for your help.
Extended Warranty

There is a lot of fluff and extended warranties I negotiated mine down to about two thirds. But I purchased mine at the time. I know there are people on here that have done really well from Kutter Harley

I posted my experience yesterday here on the forums.
Call Jim Palmer at Kutter/Boardtracker Harley for a great deal on extended warranty
My dealer wanted $1400 and I got it thru them for less than $900 for 2 years
AND . . . no $50 deductible per event like HD charges for theirs!

I know the unexpected sometimes happens but if ur bike is still running like a charm I wouldn't waste the money... How many times have u really used ur manufacturers warranty to get ur bike fixed since u had it (excluding recalls that are automatically covered)... Most minor repairs, u or someone with knowledge can do... I had my 14SG for 2 years and haven't used the warranty it came with yet... Warranties and accessories are where the dealers make their money so if ur a warranty person then do what makes you comfortable (I'm an accessory guy)... Take care of your bike and it will take care of you... RIDE SAFE!

Tbrown- I used it several times with my previous bike. Its strictly a personal choice, as for me-I haven't needed it a single time with my SGS but several of my friends have needed it for serious repairs and didn't have it. considering parts and labor costs these days, it may be good insurance for riders and give them piece of mind. It does for me and that's the only thing that matters.
I have had 2 flats since buying my sgs. This last one was 2 hours from my house and I rolled I to the dealer right before they locked the doors. They stayed late, fixed my flat, and sent me on my way. It's worth the money for the knowledge that I'm covered and they will take care of me if something happens.

The way I did my warranty...
Bought a 2001 CVO Wide Glide II (my FIRST H-D) as a retirement present to myself in Nov. 2000, using "half" of my "lump sum" vacation leave acct. payout (Never took leave in 28 years)... My wife got the other half of my "leave payout". Had $8500 left from "my half" after buying the CVO for $25,000, so put it in a separate I. R. A. (Incident Repair Account) instead of buying the then $2400 ext warranty (actually a REAL Harley-Davidson** extended warranty... not aftermarket). NEVER had to use a penny of it. After 15 yrs, I sold the IMMACULATE HOT ROD '01 CVO with a 95" motor at auction to get cash for my SGS (The CVO buyer, a collector, was waiting in the showroom w/ his truck/trailer in the lot) MY IRA made $2600 interest in 15 years. I now had $11,134.50 in my separate "just in case" IRA. I knew I was going to do my best to "void" ANY factory warranty from the MoCo within 2 years by adding stuff to my SGS that they simply don't like.
I'M COVERED & still making a measly 2% on my little Harley I.R.A. in spite of the FED ...& I can do anything I want to my bike. The MoCo can't stop me.
I use an indy shop that has two former H-D Master techs for anything I do on my bike.
My dealer's service team is great, but I choose to go to my indy shop should I have an incident. TRUST is soooo very important & my techs can take my SG apart & put it back together in their sleep at $65 an hour.
They get a big-time break on parts direct from H-D, & offer me a 15 to 20% discount on factory parts. The MoCo has threatened to remove their parts discount a few times, but then The MoCo realizes that Ted & Ronnie spend between $80K & $100K on parts on a consistent basis yearly.

It pays to check out all options before purchasing an ESP. I asked Boardtracker (Kutter) for a quote since they appear to be the cheapest on everything. they came back with 3 years for $975 and their spreadsheet said Harley MSRP $1569. I decided to do it and while filling out the form I didn't know the exact date I purchased my bike so I called the local Harley dealer where I bought it. After talking with the rep and telling him why I needed the date he said, let me see what I can do and came back with $866. You got to love retail competition. I wonder what price I would have been quoted if I went in there without the other quote.
