I gotta tell you about calling the non-Buell HD dealer to get plugs for my bike. It was funny.

Alright...so my nearest Buell dealer is an hour away. The manual calls for Harley plugs. I figure I'll try the nearest HD dealer (15 minutes away).

Me: Looking for spark plugs. 10R12A.

Him: What the hell bike is that out of?!?!?!

Me: A Buell.

Him: Oh boy. (long pause) Let me go look.

Him: HEY! I found some!

Me: SWEET! Put them aside, I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Yeah, there is a HD dealer in Fargo... Closest Buell dealer is 90 miles one way. The ONLY thing I have ever, or will ever buy at the local dealer is oil (cause they have awesome sales on oil sometimes).
Hell, most of the HARLEY guys don't even go to the local dealership, opting instead to drive for service etc.

Yes... the HD/Buell dealer is that good. At least customer service wise. Still not totally "up" on Buells, but they try.
Granted, the highest mileage 1125 from that dealership (other than mine) only has 2000 miles
