It took Honda 10 months to recall 126,000 Gold Wing Motorcycles for Rear Brake System Flaw.

Factory Delays Due to recall
My new SGS was due in yesterday and the dealer called and said 1 week delay at the factory due to clutch issues they are fixing on all bikes that came off the line but have not shipped that really sucks since I'm going in for knee surgery next Tuesday so my bike will arrive and I can't even take it for a ride

Yeah, well that's Harley almost every year on a few models it seems. But really, I don't think many people three to five years from now will remember a voluntary recall and a one hour fix. If it has been corrected, and is working, then likely people only like us will have any recollection.
I have had a recall on three of my last four cars as well. I am not too worried about them. I think we here in the forum world are more sensitive to the memory of it then perhaps any "casual" shopper in the future.
Of course the cooling system is a whole other issue, but I am really not sure how wide spread it is yet.

Wow man sorry to hear the bad news. When i got my first bike i only got 2 good weekends in to ride it before i was down for 3 months due to a surgery gettin tendons reconnected in my finger from a work accident. I spent many hours polishing with one hand in that period of time. She shined when i was able to hit the road again lol

You may want to rethink your ride. You may have a liability issue; knowingly riding your bike when you have knowledge of a safety recall. Your insurance company would be all over this if you crashed' even if the cause was not related to the recall at all. America is even more litigious than Canada and the fact you have declared to the world that you are going to ignore the safety recall may come back to bite you.
