Easy. The old bikes don't have computers to tell the dealership technicians what's wrong with them. The old timers who actually understood mechanical things are either retired, running their own shops or dead.
Answer: corporate attempts to extort the posers to buy new. A "Motor Company" that draws on its heritage but then ignores the fans of older, real machines. Fun fact: Mercedes-Benz Inc stocks every part for every vehicle they ever made. FHD, FCVO, FVVT, and especially F Jochen the Destroyer. Us dedicated riders of EVOs and older, reliably cruise past the dealerships. Nothing to see there. Keep your stupid offshore-made apparel also. We're not advertising your overpriced, undertested crap. Go ahead and add 9 more engines to your 36-engine lineup, Chokin' Jochen. Once an American Icon, now an offshore-produced global joke.
Harley Davidson is ashamed of their old bikes so they go to great lengths to make all their new bikes look exactly like their old bikes- oh wait, what?
Pure Harley don't want to fix my old Harley that's okay Indian sells motorcycles too and they can fix them one thing I used to say you could buy a part for a 1949 Panhead from Harley dealer losing all my respect for Harley they've gone woke
Why would anyone ever sell a tool, especially a business?
Support your local independent mechanics!
Buddy Stubbs has kept my 1992 FLSTF running top notch for 30 years. They are the best!
Went to my local dealership to ask about some work needed on my 2004 and was informed they don’t work on anything older than 2008.
It’s not just H-D. Euro and metric dealers also do not want to work on units over 10 years old.

It's been a long time since H-D could advertise as "Made In America" .
