hows it going? So I bought a 2019 Roadglide special and at 564 miles the clutch stopped working... same problem that the other bikes have.. secondary actuator... Harley said but there isnt a recall on your bike... right but there will be you just dont have enough 2019s yet.. so I called them to come n pick it up to fix and they dropped it in the trailer my bike is black on black and everything shows so .. so after 2weeks I went down to the shop to see what had been done... well nothing , just taken apart and waiting....they said after its fixed they would only charge me a small fee to deliver it back to me.... so I guess after spending $30,000 I should pay more . So if ya got a 19 with a hydraulic clutch be ready...

Dealer wont pick it up
You should name the dealer here so no one else makes the mistake of buying a bike there. The dealer that is charging you for delivery after they dropped your bike is pretty "Low Class" in my book. My dealer will drive 120 mile to pick up my bike for regular service if needed.... For no charge ! That is 120 miles 1 way. Just sayin...

have a 17 street glide special and had a warranty issue fixed where the seal between the transmission and the primary leak. Primary over filled with fluid from the trans. Problem is fixed within about 2000 miles later I noticed my trans dipstick was dry. Took it in and I filled both levels and are waiting to hear back from Harley on the issue. Anyone have this problem with their seal?

Probably not. It was his 2nd post, so he hasn't spent any time in the echo chamber. Probably just trying to ride, imagine that!

It is a very very well known issue. We call it "transfer" or "migration". Harley has a sort of fix that works sometimes, sometimes doesn't. $tonecold has a fix that reportedly works 100% of the time.

Harley seems to believe sumping is fixed on the 2019s, all except the very first batch have received a seal that they seem to believe fixes it.
