Transfer issues

I am wanting to know for those that have now had a different clutch pushrod or a Harley vent kit installed, now that time has passed and alot of riders have got miles on their bikes......... Did they really work? I am taking my bike in for the second time and now my dealership is saying that out of the 20-25 bikes they have taken in over the last 6 months, Harley is pushing back saying it is not their issue and I may have to pay the cost of labor, new gaskets and fluids for them to drain it, measure it and replace the fluids. Im frustrated because I want to take a few long trips this summer and not have to worry if my bike will make it without having to stop constantly to give this crap done.

The vent cured it on mine, I tried the fat rod first, and it did not. Here's a discussion on the vent ---

Get a different dealer, updated service bulletin does not call for measuring etc.

Greg williams push rod seems to have a lot more positive reviews than the harley vent. that seems hit or miss and I personally dont want a harley dealer drilling into my bike. But, depending on your dealer and feelings of keeping warranty thats up to you.
