The thing that pisses me off is, I bought the first 2014 streetglide special from my dealer and do you think I got an email, phone call, letter about the recall? NO - I found out about it on Facebook FFS. Not feeling the love Barnes...
You would think that the sales staff that sold me the bike would go through their sales list and contact all buyers to inform us. I hope this plays out well but I'm not holding my breathe

Your poll is missing some options.
Like...
Upgraded cams, compression....
Redesigned front end
UNbelieveable handling
User friendly saddle bags
2000 cubic inch larger tour pack
Nicer rims and rotors
EXTREMELY less buffeting on the highway
Fix the poll to not look like a troll, and I'll vote.

Also, while you do have two 2014's in the garage, it's not like you've owned them for a year or two and have 5k, 10k or 20k miles on them and can claim some sort of long term reliability. The fact is, these are man-made products and based on all the threads here on all the different Harley models here, it's likely that you will be posting right here at HDForums about things that come up sometime in the future, just like the rest of us.
I've owned plenty of motorcycles, pick-ups and passenger vehicles in my lifetime and none really failed me in the first couple of months. Could I say that was true with any of them after a year, or a few years? No... not blaming any given manufacturer, it's just a fact of life.
And no, I didn't vote, just to mess up the results. The poll doesn't change the facts of all the owners that have or have not been impacted, and since all the bikes are being repaired, including those on the showroom floor, I'm not sure just want it will prove either way, especially with the poll not closing until 01-17-2014, long after every bike will be repaired before being sold.

At least our bikes weren't recalled because of a spider web.

Hopefully, and according to the dealer last week, mine will be done today. I'll let you know if it actually gets done today.

Here are the facts. Dealers will and probably have received the kits today. There is still no service bulletin available in order to perform the needed checks and repairs and receive credit for them, thusly even with kits repairs aren't being performed until this bulletin arrives. I can also guarantee that the dealers aren't receiving nearly enough kits to fix all of the affected bikes that they have, customer and unsold. Again, these are actual facts.
