Harley Software "upgrade" service
Wednesday I went to the Harley software upgrade site and noticed a firmware upgrade (1.7.12) to their 20S/20S EVO wireless headsets. While I don't have one of those, I still maintain a Library of Harley software, so I downloaded the upgrade. It ended up being a Zero-Byte Zipfile - who ever compressed the file screwed up. Thursday morning I contacted their support by phone and explained the situation - and was informed that the information would be passed to their engineering people to fix it. A few minutes ago, it was still A.F.U.
While I was on the phone I asked if the 6.5GT's GPS system would be affected by the GPS reset that is coming on the 6th of April. Again, they'll pass my question to Engineering. I was given a case number, but if it's like any others I've received, I'll never get an answer. If you are interested in what may happen to older GPS's, here's some reading material:

I have an old Garmin Nüvi 205 GPS, and I called Garmin Customer Service about this, and they acted like they'd never heard of it before. I doubt they'll get back to me either.

1.7.12 is supposed to be a newer version, but whoever was supposed to compress the file must have screwed up. Let's see how long it takes HD to fix it. As I said, I reported it on 2/14/19.
