Don't know if Bertha's was ever replaced under that ancient recall or not... but now you have a new one and should be good to GO for a long time!

Just google 1995 Harley FLHTP and you'll find many interesting links...

Thanks Ken. I sure am enjoying her. Just sat down after a 100 mile ride today. I see another 75 or so coming later.

Funny about the recall. I ordered a set of keys for her, and the parts guy said "your bike hasn't had the switch recall done, but if it's still working, I wouldn't worry about it."

That was in April I think...........

did you change it out to a relay system or go with original setup? may still be worth letting them do the recall to goto the low amp switch?

Unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one. I guess I better check on the additional parts mentioned.

Sounds like they owe you an ignition switch fix, Scott! Argue with them and get your money back for the ignition switch you should not have had to pay for...

Called the service department, and, you are correct! They will complete the switch fix AND refund my $109! The tow bill is another subject............

He told me recalls are free forever! COOL.........

If you register your bike with Harley Davidson, you can see all the recall information for your bike.
For instance, in my profile it shows this:
Recall Notice: 0081: RCL:90/91 1340 CRB INLET VALVE
