Review of Independence Harley-Davidson

Although Harley Davidson parts, clothes and access...

Although Harley Davidson parts, clothes and accessories are expensive, they are also quality. I took my Harley Davidson Sportster to HD of Charlotte for repair after taking it to another Harley mechanic. For some reason I had a gut feeling that it would be better to take my motorcycle to HD instead of the place that did a diagnostic on my motorcycle. I am so glad I did.

According to Cooper Cycles, my stator and magneto needed to be replaced. I was told by Cooper himself, that the voltage to my battery was too low and the rattling in the compartment where the stator is was most likely from a piece of magnet tumbling around. He quoted me a price of $300 for the stator and told me he would have to figure up the price of the magneto. I am unemployed and my money is a rare commodity. I had him do an oil change and told him I would have to come back for the stator.

When HD did their diagnostic on my engine, they came back and told me that there was nothing what-so-ever wrong with the stator. All that was needed was for the battery to be recharged. And, get this, my make and model sporster does not even have a magneto!! The rattling was from the primary chain that needed adjusting!!

Shame on you Cooper Cycles! I promise you that I will do my best to warn other motorcycle riders to avoid you like the plague!! You aren't even qualified to fix bicycles.
