Even though this is my first post on this forum (actually, the second), please excuse me for this aggressive start, but I need to tell you:
One thing is for sure: NEVER buy Screamin' Eagle Performance Mufflers! NEVER!
My ride is a Harley-Davidson Road King Classic FLHRCI EFI HDI 2001, but the bike was purchased in February 2002 from an authorized H-D dealer in Croatia, Europe. The same month when I had purchased the bike, I purchased the Screamin' Eagle Performance Mufflers (H-D catalog number 65115-98) and Chrome Billet Style End Caps-Tapered (Catalog Number 65060-01). I paid for these mufflers and end caps 881.72 EURO (approx 1,077.00 US$ !!!). This is the price in Europe.
Even though my bike has been maintained and serviced on a regular basis (regular service intervals) by an authorized H-D dealer, and even though my bike has been parked in a dry and warm garage and carefully wiped down after every ride and never exposed to moisture, just three years after the purchase, the mufflers and end caps had begun to bubble up and flake off. NOW I can see very big corrosive HOLES, and mufflers and end caps started to literally DECAY. We can say that they have real CANCER, literally!
Since I do know that customer service is of the utmost importance to Harley-Davidson and that Haley-Davidson Motor Company carefully listens to specific customers’ problems, I approached "my" H-D dealer, including Harley-Davidson Motor Comapany Europe and Harley-Davidson Motor Company USA and asked for their prompt attention to my problem and my justified request to have the company issue me replacement mufflers and end caps free of charge, even though the warranty has expired.
But, the answer(s) were NEGATIVE!
And, what am I supposed to do now: to buy a new pair of mufflers and end caps, even though I had paid for these items more than 1,000.00 US$ just three years ago?
Think about my problem and be careful when making decision(s) what to buy.......
Bet regards from Sarajevo, Bosnia and keep your tires on the ground!
