Not much you can do about it, unless you are willing to tare into the motor, and measure the run out.
I say ride, and don't worry about what MIGHT happen.

You might think about buying the extended warranty coverage if you still can.

If it does go bad, just go to Darkhorse and get a welded and trued crank. Then go to HEadquater and get the 113" or 120". Then you will have the bike that Harley should have built in the first place!
