They apparently "cheapened down" some of the hard parts in the hydraulic clutch versus what went into the CVO's to save some mass production money. Let that be a lesson to them if that is what they did...........I know my 12 got some of the beefier SE parts in my 103" that they didn't try to "cheapen" with a different design to save some $$$$.

Apparently there are two recalls now. One for the master cylinder and one for clutch plates or ramp or something.

Yeah I knew the CVOs never reported a bunch of problems. Guess they redesigned a part or screwed up during manufacturing these new bits.

Sad state of affairs...

Project Rushmore is starting to make the ACA rollout look like a success.

OMG, a recall....oh no, better sell the 14 now and go back and get a 1995. What the **** is wrong with a lot of people on this forum? I have had 14 for less then a week. HD is being proactive. So did people stop buying toyota tundra trucks when they had a brake recall? Of course not. They do it to keep everyone safe. Not every bike will have an issue. Out of the 30,000 bikes out there, I am sure only a few have had an issue. And about 5 it seems have had coolant leak. Big ****ing Deal.

Quit justifying why you didn't buy a 14 saying its because of the clutch or coolant. That's the dumbest pile of **** I have ever heard.
