I would take it to the shop where you purchased the bike and have them fix it for free..

Dude, anything can happen at anytime for what ever reason. It's under warranty so take it back and have it repaired. If this was an automobile would we be having this discussion?

That blows! Would have withdrawals if my bike had to be grounded for a month on something silly like that.

Harley is telling me they can't drill out the snapped off bolt that is stuck in the housing which is attached to the front fork/frame. Biggest nightmare ever!

I would take it to a machine shop and get a second opinion....once they tear that thing down to replace the frame your gonna have all kinds of future problems. I wouldn't take that chance........my biggest concern would be future electrical issues.....
