Got my letter, waiting to hear. I have more concerns about the Stealership touching my bike than I do about the part failure.
I'm hoping the dealer near me will allow me to take the parts and do it myself.

That doesn't seem like much of a fix.
It'll still break, but it'll keep the lawsuits away.
How much more would it of cost to put some dense foam in the new plastic panel to add extra support and dampen vibration of the adjuster?

So, here's my wonderful experience with the wonderful Stealership nearest to where I live.
Him.
Me.


Service Department, John
Hi, I got a Recall Notice on my Softtail and want to know if you can help me?
Has the bike been here before?
No.
Year, make and model.
2023 Harley Davidson Low Rider S/T (for a half second, I thought about screwing with him and saying "Suzuki" as dumb questions deserve dumb answers).
Out of Stock.
Can I put my name on a list for a call?
Did you buy the bike here?
No.
Why don't you call where you bought it from?
Because they are 12-13 hours away from where I live now.
Well, I've got about 100 people ahead of you and you would be at the bottom of that list.
OK, can you put my name on that list?
No, we don't do that.

One has to wonder if some of the folks at these Stealerships have call options on Polaris and are shorting HOG???
