Default 2008 CVO engine fixes-Please help

Hey everyone, does anyone have any suggestions on fixing the recalled problem of the 110 CVO engine? I am replacing the head gasket and I am having it inspected for possible cracked cylinder. So is there anyway to prevent any major damage on this? I don't want to replace the heads every 2k miles. Any help appreciated. FYI- no warranty left.

If it's a recall the warranty doesn't matter.

Only safety recalls, product campaigns will not be covered out of warranty.

True, however Harley says they "fixed" the recall prior to purchase, so they aren't going to help any way what so ever. I am on my own to fix it, which is fine, but just don't want to replace the heads every winter.

If you don't have a warranty or if the recall (head gasket) has already been fixed, then yes you are SOL. I called corporate and the dealership and since I didn't buy the ESP, they basically told me to pound sand. FYI, I only have 2k miles on the bike. I purchased it used with 4 miles on it! It originally was titled to HD corporate as a show bike. So as soon as they titled it, the warranty started to tick. I am SOL as far as fixing this issue.
