Found the VIN tag right there on the left side under a clamped down wiring harness. Had to loosen the clamp to read the tag.
The vin search at HD did not mention the recall
The \\;VIN is also located on the other side stamped into the frame.

It appears your bike already has the updated filter shell. HD started installing the updated shell around the first of the year.
Xtrooper how do you know which day of the month your bike was built on. I now mine was built in dec of 07 but don't know which day. BTW mine was not on the recall list.

I have the original build placard for my bike. It has the full date on it.
Bertk: I checked the VIN and nothing about a recall came up, so I think I'm in the clear. \\;
The recall is indeed # 0135. Thank you to my dear local âstealerâ Rossmeyer HD of Ft. Lauderdale, they had me in today, had the parts in stock and took care of business within a hour.No questions, ifs, ands or butsâŚjust courteous, fast, professional service, they even replaced a rubber grommet that had broken off one of my docking points. Special thanks to Mark and Lillian, both great people to deal with..Kudos! According to Mark my original part showed clear signs of damage and it was a matter of time before complete failure. I really appreciate this as my wife and I are riding up to Milwaukee, now with peace of mind!
