How does your clutch feel after the latest clutch recall?

The problem is when Harley molds the cases for the reservoir they used an acid the etch the inside of the reservoir and when they cleaned them before putting them together all the acid was not removed. It had actually embedded itself inside of the aluminum and then it caused the brake fluid to bubble and this is what causes the problem.
Anyone else have a service manager explanation?

Has anyone else noticed fluid weaping around the gasket after the service? I had my recall done 2 weeks ago and since then I have had a wet look around the gasket. I wipe it dry but it comes back.
Also, the new gasket does not look like the one on the brake master cylinder (tucked in betweet the bottom and top cover). The new gasket sticks out a little all around the top cover. Is this what you have?

This can't be right? Is it one of those live with it things? I don't think the old gasket was like the new one. I think it was like the brake master cylinder but I'm not 100%.

Had the recall done yesterday and I had no issues before but the service Manager said they had noticed some of the bikes on the floor having the issues after they sat for awhile. The problem is when Harley molds the cases for the reservoir they used an acid the etch the inside of the reservoir and when they cleaned them before putting them together all the acid was not removed. It had actually embedded itself inside of the aluminum and then it caused the brake fluid to bubble and this is what causes the problem.
They will pull the system down and wash out the reservoir with different solutions to get it clean and rebuild and flush the system and then your good to go, hopefully.
Mine does feel stiffer than before and catches a little quicker. Wow, that almost doesn't sound right.
