I got my letter for my Road King. The dealer here is pretty nonchalant about it. I called about getting an apt. and they had the opinion I should just deal with it when I get my next service appointment, like it isn't that big of a deal. They didn't really want to schedule an apt just for this but they grudgingly scheduled it two weeks out. Attitude seemed to be annoyance towards the recall rather than taking it as anything serious. Surprising as this time of year I would think they would want business with everyone hanging it up.
The dealership told me they were shipped 4 kits and there was 12 bikes that had checked in. They wouldn't give me a date, only took my number and said "We will call you".

My recall service was done quickly but the bike is still at the dealer waiting on the new ignition key switch and also they found a cracked gasket somewhere on the transmission that they also had to order. I was busy when they called so I don't know what gasket it was. Been there about a week and a half now.

I put the Oberon lever on my bike too. I set it at #3. I found it helped but, I still prefer a cable for the friction zone.

I finally got the call for the recall after putting my name on THE LIST at my dealer back in early November. I will say this, the clutch just seems a lot more compliant and smoother to operate. Maybe it's just in my head but my clutch just feels better. Anyway, glad I got it out of the way. When the recall was first announced my dealer said they were only getting 3-5 kits/week. I actually forgot all about it.
