Sounds like he took it to a worthless shop. That's what Harley Davidson dealerships do. They send owners of anything but the current engines design away. All those owners are given no choice but to find a competent Harley shop. It doesn't mean the bike can't be fixed. It means that dealership can't fix it*

* I'm sure someone there could, but it's a business decision. They can make money off of every newer bike repair. Older stuff sometimes takes more to fix due to deterioration and harder to find parts.
