Just wondering if anyone has heard about a recall for the motor mounts on the 06 Road King.My brother owns one and he heard something about it from someone and wanted me to ask if anyone has heard of that or if you know where we could find the info out. Any help would be great!!!![sm=icon_cheers.gif]
I don't remember if it made it to the level of a 'recall' or not....I believe it was a Technical Service Bulletin....Basically HD made a runing change to an improved motor mount....He can call a dealer with his VIN# and they can tell him if his bike has any outstanding recalls... Here is a copy of the TSB notice:
