Vulcan needs teleported

I have a 2004 2000 Vulcan and it's been in the shop over the past 3 years for roughly 1 year under warranty.  The problem, per the mechanic, is the HDL's.  I've read many forums that Kawasaki and their engines are supposed to sound like a gatlin gun from WWI.  My dealer has come close to tears over this bike, the mechanic has quit 3 times also because of this bike.  GE will not assist in doing the right thing and buy the bike back, and Kawasaki is admittingly running out of solutions.  The bike has been in the shop 8 times for a tick, similar to valve knock.  After the 4th visit I've tried to just "ride it out".  Big mistake!  It sounded like the rockers of a very out of tune Kenworth Semi-truck.  I rode like that for a week, WITH earplugs.  All the dealer has done is replace HDL after HDL.  NOW Kawasaki told the dealer to drill into the engine to get a reading on the oil pressure to the lifters.  I feel screwed.  I was just curious if you've come across this, and if so could you comfort me with a hug and help me put this nightmare to rest.  

Have you tried another dealership. Some techs are better than others. It's unfortunate that they are not willing to step up to the plate and take care of the situation. Sounds like a lemon to me. The other option would be to take legal action. Or even the hint of a suit that would ruin the reputation of a dealership and a name like Kawasaki. I know that doesn't resolve your dilema at the moment.  What's the price of not riding half the summer and spending every free second you have dealing with problems? You have every right to be pissed off!!! I wish you luck.
Let us know how things turn out.
