    This is a genuine bargain, only 7 months old but only ridden half that time.
    Lots of money spent and a real pleasure to ride. This bike is loaded with features;
    Stage 1 air cleaner and race tuner kit installed so it breathes better.
    Stage 2 cam installed for that extra Torque and a distinctive lumpy sound.
    Vance and Hines headers with Screaming Eagle Street Cannons for performance and tone.
    Tour Pack (Top Box) to give your passenger armchair comfort and you can also store 2 helmets inside when you have stopped instead of carrying them with you.
    This bike will spray oil over the engine pipes, because you love polishing the chrome; it will spray oil over your pillions right shin to keep them busy in the laundry and it will also coat the front of the pannier with oil as well.
    If you are real lucky, it will even throw oil out of the oil cooler right into the path of you rear wheel to give you that little bit of extra excitement in your ride.
    On a cool day, it will overheat on just a short ride so it idles like a chaff cutter; this gives it a real cool sound that turns heads wherever you pull up.
    New cylinders, pistons and rings fitted; just to give the mechanics some practice it seems. In fact, they needed a bit of extra practice so this has been done twice, they have even machined the heads.
    All this and more, with Harley Australia giving it a clean bill of health saying everything is the way it is supposed to be.
    I’ll be real sad to see this bike go, so get in quick before I change my mind. Price is definitely not negotiable as this bike has too many great features as you can see.

    This is also advertised elsewhere so jump in quick.

    fark mate, hate to hear these stories. 

    As to the loan bike, insist on one if they haven't offered - just be aware of the insurance excess.

    Hope you get it sorted this time around, and can enjoy the bike, not stress about the next issue.

    Best of luck

    Mine has 14,000 hard km's on it now with virtually the same mods. Hasn't had one issue (touch wood) Hope it is sorted soon, as I reckon this is the best bike I have owned.

    With a new bike having major problems you'd be within your consumer rights to demand a refund.

    Agree law doesn't differentiate but let's face it we're all gonna be more pissed off with a lemon lambo than a lemon corolla. I expect better quality when the price is higher

    It sucks to hear that you're not having a good run with your bike. I'd be mighty pissed off it was me. 
    As others have mentioned, I'd be either wanting a replacement bike, or money back.

    Sad to hear you are being treated so badly by your dealer. I got the run around with my last bike, I got the shits and rang HD Australia and spoke to the warrenty bloke and my problems were sorted quick smart by the dealer,but my problems were not as major as yours. Best of luck to you.
    Have your parts arrived yet?

    An M8 is to Harleys what masturbation is to sex. Sure it gets the job done and you're shamefully crying afterwards, but you know there's a better way to experience it

    This is a very sad story. Brand new bikes should not leak oil, they should not have to be rebuilt they are brand new not 20 years old, customers should not have to wait weeks and weeks to ride a brand new bike because it's in a workshop getting repaired, should I go on. I have read on a few other forums about this problem yes I know it's not happening on all the new M8's but it is happening when it shouldn't be. I don't know what Harley is going to do but if they don't fix this problem loyal Harley customers will start looking elsewhere at different brands. Hope this story has a happy ending it's just one of many I have read about.

    I bet they try and give you a used Demo bike, warranty would have started when they first
    registered it.

    Great sense of humour with the ad. Conveys your frustration perfectly well. 
    What are the chances of getting two faulty rear cylinders? Either the cylinders are faulty manufactured , or the the engine design is, or the workshop stuffed up.
    What did Gladstone say?
    Hang in there, and don't hold any false hopes on the benevolence of the HD Aust.
