I can also guarantee that the dealers aren't receiving nearly enough kits to fix all of the affected bikes that they have, customer and unsold. Again, these are actual facts.
You don't give us any support information as to why we should accept these
facts you offer.

Posting a scan or link for the SB would help reduce "over re-acting".

Or if that's not practical/possible, maybe a synopsis of the SB would be helpful to owners affected by the recall.

I just downloaded SB M-1354.

Titled: 2014 Trike and CVO Softail Clutch: Safety Recall 0154

It covers the clutch release plate issue only. I'll assume another bulletin will be forthcoming on the clutch master cylinder issue.

One encouraging part of this bulletin: Parts shipped over-nite.

I just got back from the dealer dropping my bike off for the recall repairs. At this time they had not received the parts but by dropping it off early I'm assured it will be fixed with the first shipment of parts. They should be here Tue or Wed maybe Thurs at the latest and should have the bike back by the weekend. Fingers are crossed!!!!'
