That has been my experience. Pretty much any bike that is 2 generations of engine old, is "too old" for the dealers. They tell you to find an independent bike shop.
They won't even touch an Evo around here.
My kind of old is Knucklehead. If you show up at almost any bike shop with one of those, they all come out to see it. Of course, mine was hand built by me and I wouldn't let anyone touch it anyway.
That's another thing, custom. The dealers really don't want anything other than the way it was built in the mothership, but that's not really surprising, car dealers do that too.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
