I talked to the service manager this morning about this. Right now they are scrambling to get the fix onto showroom bikes and bikes that have already been sold so they can deliver them. He also tells me that he has a bunch of people calling that want the fix NOW. So I just told him to give me a call in a few weeks once the dust settles and we'll get it taken care of. He appreciated that.
In the meanwhile, I'm going to try and avoid any high speed front end crashes.

Step 1) I printed out the PDF file Dawg posted and took it to my dealer,
Step 2) My Service manager said it could only be fixed if the owner complained and asked for it to be fixed.
Step 3) So I said "I am asking for it ot be fixed".
Step 4) Now we will wait for my dealer to order the parts
Step 5) and for Harley to make the parts
Step 6) and for Harley to ship the parts tp my dealer
Step 7) and wait for my dealer to contact me that they have the parts
Step 8) and then wait for the dealer to set a date to fix the problem.
Step 9) and then for my dealer to actually get my bike in and fix the porblem.
Thank gawd it's the slow time of the riding season.

Wow..only missed that recall by 5 years. (The 'o4's were ALLOT better in front end collisions.) Think I will see if one of those Plastic ride Bells from the '09's will fit mine though.
