While riding my motorcycle from mahwah, nj to painted post, ny, the tour -pak (trunk) caught on fire. I stopped and opened the tour -pak. After the smoke cleared, I discovered that the interior tour-pak light had melted the lens, burned through the tour-pak liner, and burned a hole in my $75.00 sport shirt. I disconnected the connector, and proceeded on my trip. When I returned 3 days later, I did a search on my computer and discovered a service bulletin from harley-davidson, which identified a defective "sticking" switch, which causes the interior tour-pac light to stay on. When I called h-d, they said to go to a local h-d dealership to verify the damage and have the dealer call h-d. I followed their instructions. The dealer called h-d to relay the info. However,the dealer called me later that day to tell me h-d was not going to pay for the replacement of the re-engineered switch with an l.e.d. Bulb, the damaged liner, or my burned sport shirt, because" the vehicle no longer was no longer under warranty".
