Protection Plans

If your Harley-Davidson^® motorcycle is stolen and not recovered, chances are you’ll have to pay the “gap” between your insurance company balance and the loan balance. Don’t assume that your primary insurance will cover all losses related to your motorcycle. In many cases, the actual cash value that an insurance company places on your bike may be substantially less than the outstanding balance on your loan. Who pays the difference or the “gap” between your insurance company and your loan payoff? You do!

Harley-Davidson GAP pays the difference between the fair market value of your vehicle and the outstanding balance of your loan on the date of loss up to $35,000*. Plus, your insurance deductible may be covered up to $1,000. With your loan balance paid in full and your deductible covered, you can move on to purchasing a new motorcycle.

Having your motorcycle stolen isn’t just a hassle; it could also involve unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Harley-Davidson^® Theft Protection protects you and your asset by helping law enforcement quickly identify your stolen motorcycle — aiding in recovery and, if necessary, helping you purchase a replacement bike. Our MicroDot identification system (each dot is less than 1 mm across and invisible to the naked eye) utilizes a unique PIN code that fluoresces under UV light and is discreetly placed on parts of the bike. This makes them easier for law enforcement to identify so recovered motorcycles can be returned as quickly as possible.

Should H-D^™ Theft Protection not lead to motorcycle recovery, customers can take advantage of the included replacement benefit — up to $5,000 applied toward the purchase of a replacement unit.

If you’re like many riders, your motorcycle’s appearance is as important as its performance.
