Default Ultra Classic Fork Locked

Strange situation. I locked the fork on my 2006 Ultra Classic with 2400 miles, and when I unlocked the mechanism the fork remains locked. Otherwise, bike is fine. Of course, it's Sunday morning. Any suggestions short of calling a Harley technician on the next business day?

I've heard that this is common and is a design flaw...let us know what you find out.

Don't know of a recall yet. I haven't had any trouble with my '06 but I have read about it several times on the forum and asked a service writer at my dealer last week if there is an issue. She said "yes, with some bikes". I hope Harley steps up to the plate with this if it is a serious problem.

Would be nice if Harley would be a bit more open about this kind of problem. I luckily had my Ultra in the garage when this situation occurred. Could have occurred in TimBuckToo around sunset.

Fork is still locked. I'll check with a tech at the Harley dealership tomorrow morning.
