Does anyone know if the Moco have "corrected" the master cylinder problem at the factory yet? or are they just going to continue production as is and do recalls to repair faulty ones as needed?

Yes. From the factory to the sales floor all are corrected. HD would not allow the sale of any bike on the dealer's floor until the fix was done. The factory did not send one bike out the door after they learned of the clutch problem.

The coolant out the overflow and the clutch problem is now history. Unless you live back in the hollow and don't have electricity, internet or mail service all the buyers have been contacted and bikes fixed.

I was late in getting mine in this last Friday due to heavy business travel.. That being said, it was shared by my dealer that they had (39) 2014s to do the recall on between customer sold, and bikes on the unsold in inventory. Mine was the last one. Out of those 39, none had been found with the wrong clutch fork! The master rebuild was mandated by HD. Pretty much putting a (Belt and suspenders on the recall problem). I never had any symptom of a clutch problem and continued to ride mine on weekends my personal choice. The clutch feels no different to me after the recall. There is no way Harley would allow production to continue unfixed after an expensive recall effort.

If it was to be known, I am betting there was a very small percentage of bikes that had an actual production problem with parts. However, a very dangerous problem for some.
