After watching threads like this and talking with a couple of shops that are doing the work I am determined to not fix a problem that doesn't yet exist. Since I got rid of the head pipe with the cat in it I figure the heat source that was killing the recalled part is gone.
This is the reason I never took mine in for that warranty.
I really don't trust those guys at all.
Our magnificent HD dealership refuses to sell the replacement brake switch as a spare part...
I'm glad I seldom use the rear brake while in cruise control
I purchased the switch and replaced it myself. Bled the brakes and all is just fine. Purchase a set of speed Bleeders and install them at the same time you change the switch. Makes it a snap to bleed and change brake fluid. Yes mine is ABS also.

I read somewhere we had to remove o-rings left under the original bleeders; do you confirm? I also bought the SB8125L-SS bleeders ...
I had my brake switch recall done a few days after my 1000-mile service (they were supposed to do both at the same time). I haven't noticed any ill effects.

Rick...did you see any air bubbles come out during the bleed?
