Default Brake Switch recall question
Can the dealer install the switch without removing the header?

Yes the switch can be installed without removing the header...Harley Davidson warranty pays the dealer.2 (12minutes) flat rate to change the switch on non abs brakes and .4 (24 minutes) for abs brakes which includes bleeding the brakes.

Leave the hard bag at home cuz their going to remove it to bleed the brake. It will minimize any bag hunters that dealership might cause.
