Dealer expertise 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hit 60 degrees here yesterday so out for a ride. Swung by the dealer to grab a part and see if they had any of the raiders in yet. Went to the parts counter and told the young man I needed a silencer band (clamp for the exhaust) for an 07 Roadstar, his reply..."Is that a Yamaha??" I just shook my head and walked away, guess I need to find another parts place.

You might just want to nurse them trough it and get your part. I run into the same thing when I go to the parts counter at my dealer. I tell them it's an 06 Road Star Silverado and they ask me what size motor every time. I just deal with it, get my part, and leave.

Ask them for an oil filter for a R* ... "What year R*?"

I guess it's not just my area then as I wade through the Snowmobiles and ATV's to ask the counter guy how many R* recalls they have done I never leave with a warm fuzzy.

Re:Dealer expertise 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Thats one thing I really dont like anymore... Going thru the door into 15 ATV's or past 20 snowmobiles, 10 jet ski's, 20 dirt bikes, 10 crotch rocket's to see 1 Roadstar that didnt sell last year. Its hard to get counter help that knows about the roadie. I have a couple , but it took a couple years to find them.

Better yet look up the part # yourself and hand it to them
and they look at you like your an alien about to suck their brain out
