I have the same problem. 2010 with almost 7000 miles still tough to hit.

Mine was the same, but have 2700 on now and it works fine.

Really liking the radio. Handle great at low speeds.
Transmission is very "clunkey", but only 300 miles on it so far. Probably switch it to redline.

Really having trouble getting in to neutral. Shifter keeps going by it, both ways.
Have to "tap" it just right to hit it. Never happened with the FLHR.
Sound like a problem, adjustment or just break-in?
An overfilled primary can cause the problem with finding neutral. Don't rely on the dealer to get the fluid levels correct. Ask me how I know.
