looks like the moco is on top of things and took action quickly to prevent accidents. my ford pick-up and my wife's toyota have both been recalled for safety concerns. happens all the time.

too bad they were not as concerned when the '12 models started having voltage regulator problems. there were a lot of riders that got stranded a long way from home and had their trips ruined because the company sat on their *** and did nothing until you were broke down. did not hear of any free tows either.

Check the date on the left downtube as you are sitting on on the bike.

Did the voltage regulators cause potential death due to a motorcycle not being able to stop?

Default Looks like I may be out of the Recall scene

I just have the regular old clutch on my 2014 Road King! I went into the garage last night and everything, but couldn't find any hydraulics.

So, beyond hope, I logged on to the HD website. It was so confusing, and I was a little scared. I had to find my VIN which seemed so hard to find. Why can't that just be on the tank? And why does the number have to be so long?!?!

Anyway, I get it registered and find out there is NO RECALL ON MY BIKE!!!!! I mean, what the hell??? Now I feel left out by my buddies who get to go back and hang out at the HD dealership while my bike is still in the garage.



I'm torn, and don't know what to do. You think it is too late to add a hydraulic clutch to my bike, or should I just go in a different direction?
