just wondering. have not heard of anyone ACTUALLY receiving this letter...

 

There's only a service bulletin as far as I know.

 

What tire?

 

Hers is what I got:

Comments :
Harley replaced my Front 407 on my 2009 FLHTCU to a new 408

Why Not the Rear ? My rear is severely cupped at 10,900 miles I run 40 /42 psi.

the tire falls within Dunlop Limited Warranty guidelines. Should there be

Haven't heard, but just put on new Venoms so not worrying about it.

 

you guys are lucky over there that h/d seem to be recognising that there is a problem with the dunlop d407f
the dealers in australia say that they havent received the bulletin and in fact when i emailed three of them the copy i downloaded from this forum they are telling me its just a US problem and australian tyres are probably a different compound
what a load of crap
i more than likely suspect we havent had the same numbers of complaints from disgruntled owners
i know that my tyre has scalloped real bad and that after 30 yrs of riding bikes this is the 1st time i have to replace the front tyre before the back

 

Glad you asked as I was meaning to. Someone said they talked to MOCO and they were suppose to mail all 09 touring ? owners a letter at the start of november. I haven't seen squat.

 

Havent recieved my letter also contacted dealer and he told me he doesnt even have any front tires in stock

 

It took San Jose Harley 5 days to get my Front tire...

They said there is plenting in stock at Mother Harley.. May want to call another dealer

 

No letter yet. I have 12,200 miles on the tires (09 EGC) and have not noticed any cupping. I downloaded the service bulletin (SB) and will be contacting my dealership soon. I'm afraid they won't honor the SB for the front tire because as of right now it looks good.

Has anyone had their front tire replaced even if there was no evidence of cupping?
