True...of course, I could point out that I could wheelie my '88 V-Max at least that well... In fact, I believe that they did a comparo when the V-Rod first came out and the V-Max kicked it's ass!! Again, that being said, if I were to buy a Harley, this would be the one for sure!!!

I found out my guaranteed for life belt, isn't..

It just has no service interval, ie replace when it breaks, at about 200 bucks.

That is why I'm upset with buell..

Same..

I've been unable to get a straight answer from my mechanic. He says he asks at every meeting they have. And nobody ever gives him a straight answer.

I asked around on Badweb, and apparently one of the guys who owns or works at a dealership told me, "lifetime" just means there is no maintenance replacement interval..
