Maybe they used their "magic wand" to remove the primary oil. I need to get one of those.

I have a problem similar to the OP's from time to time, on a 2007 Road Glide.
Coming down towards a stop, perhaps I'm in 4th or even 3rd.
Bike is still moving but slowing down.
Go to downshift towards first.... and ..... can't shift down.
I DON'T use a lot of pressure or try to force it.
As soon as the bike STOPS moving -- downshifts easily, no "resistance" at all.
This doesn't happen all the time, not even "often", just now and then.
A minor annoyance, that's all.

The allen/hex bolt at the arm that is attached to transmission shaft.
To be more clear: The arm/lever at the end of shift rod linkage at the transmission end..
The allen/hex head bolt can get loose and allow that arm to slip over the splines of the transmission shaft.
