Sh*t, this was discussed a year or so ago. Do a search and find a dealer to replace them (someone will). This is not breaking news. Tell the dealer it is a safety issue...that will get their attention.
Thanks everyone!! For me it is a safety issue. I ride a lot and it has almoststalled a few times while trying to get through intersections. I was happy to hear it wasn't just my bike and the problem is a easy fix, for HARLEY!!

RE: 06 injectors??
Get in contact with your dealer and get the 25 degree injectors. Tell them about the stalling etc. Had mine done last year as part of a Service Bulletin
I have the 8* and will be swapping them out to the 25* in two weeks when I have my 10k mile service done. I told them on the phone I wanted them swapped at no charge because there is a SB out on them and they said fine. Another dealer tried to BS me that I didn't need to do it, yada...yada....yada. I said see ya.
The reason I'm changing to the 25*is I get thisfeeling that the bike runs slightly rough. I mean it's very slight and I always thought it was just the wayHarley's were. But I had an indy mechanic with lots of HD experience ride it andhe said it's running a little rough and suggested going to the 25* injectors.
Mine was running roughfrom day one. Cold start, coughing out the air cleaner, stalling under load. Got them switched to the 25 degrees and its a whole new bike. Runs very, very well. A friend of mine didnt think he needed them. Said his scoot ran great. Well one day we got to talking about them and he said, "heck with it, Im gonna get them replaced anyway" (I showed him the service bulletin). After getting them replaced it dawned on him that his scoot wasnt running great after all. He said that was the best thing he has done and it feels like a new bike. I recommend getting them done anyway, whether you think it runs great or not.
I know this is old news but my Classic stalled on me TWICE today! Do I need a copy of the service bulletin in my hand to show my service guy before I'll get any help? If so, where do I get one? Thanks for the info.
