RE: possible 07 recall
I wonder how many weeks it's going to take to get an appointment for this fix? And what does it all mean anyway, I know some have been having issues with 07's noise and clatter does this have anything to do with that?

RE: possible 07 recall
Sweet! Now I have to swap my pipes and air filter along with removing my PCIII to have the dealer download a new map which in turn will mess with my PCIII
Hopefully we will find out exactly what this is for. Maybe my existing configuration has already "corrected" this problem.

RE: possible 07 recall
Here's more info on the recall (doesn't sound like anything that's going to help the hot, lean running conditions):
Bulletin # M1186
PURPOSE
A recent refinement to the ECM calibration of 2007 Big Twin model motorcycles will smooth the torque curve application in a manner that minimizes high shock loads to drive train components, which could cause engine damage. For example, high shock loads could result from lugging the engine during hard acceleration while operating under 1500 RPM. This refinement enhances the drive characteristics for the new Twin Cam engine and, on some modes, improves fuel economy during certain steady state driving conditions.
Since Harley-Davidson is committed to a course of continuous improvement, this ECM calibration change was recently incorporated into all 2007 Big Twin model motorcycles on the production line.
Furthermore, in the interest of promoting customer satisfaction, Harley-Davidson has decided to offer a current production equivalent ECM calibration upgrade at no charge to all owners of 2007 Big Twin model motorcycles manufactured prior to implementation of the calibration change. This offer includes stock production, Police and CVO motorcycles, and also those that have subsequently had P&A street legal performance calibrations installed. This calibration upgrade offer is valid from now to the end of the motorcycleâs warranty period.
