This is a quote from the letter dealers got late Wednesday afternoon/evening.
"The remedy is to confirm that the motorcycle is affected by this recall.
If the motorcycle is affected it will require the clutch master cylinder to be rebuilt
using the recall repair kit. If affected, an inspection will also need to be
performed to confirm that the clutch release plate is correct. If it has the
mechanical cable style clutch release plate (p/n 37903-90) it will require
replacement with a hydraulic clutch release plate (p/n 37000111)".
Hope this will clear up some confusion.

So the 14's are not just quite yet the greatest thing since sliced bread, eh?
Well you know the old adage of "If it seems to good to be true?"
Leave it to good ol' HD.
Nothin' like quality control.
I'll stick w/my old 09 I guess. lolol.
Good luck.
Hope it works out for ya'll.
Maybe this will boost the price of some of the remaining 13's?

Took mine in yesterday for the 1000 mile service... Told them to keep it until the clutch problem is resolved. I know they were happy that I had it on my trailer so they didn't have to pick it up! They said parts should arrive next week. Luckily I was the first one to get to the dealer in my area!
I'm just glad I took a long weekend trip LAST weekend!!! I hate it for you guys who had plans for this next week. Bummer.

Man, can you imagine the problems for the dealers associated with this recall. They must be sh!tt!ng themselves. Having to pick up all the bikes, space to store all of them that come in, pissed off customers, no time for the normal service of other bikes, more pissed off customers. The trickle down effect must be a nightmare. Used to fantasize about being a Harley mechanic. But I bet the next month or 2 is really gonna suck.
