That's because the latest SB1450 didn't come out until recently. It wasn't released until 8/21/18 and it wasn't really seen publicly until the last week or 2. I will join you and every other HD bike owner in singing Hallelujah and congratulations to the MoCo if this latest oil pump revision truly solves sumping for everyone. Of course that will mean that 2 years of M8s are out there with the risk of sumping because of obsolete oil pumps. What do you think the odds are that HD will cover the cost to repair these bikes after their warranty expires but they begin to display sumping or roast an engine due to sumping? You and I both know the answer to that question..
