M 1204 Voltage Regulator Bulletin??????(2006 tour bikes)
Copied here from Gereral Forum since it effects Touring models
Just got a letter from Harley MoCo today.
Called the dealership and the ServiceManager said they FIRST will check the date stamped on the Regulator. And if it is one that falls within the dates of manufacture that they have for those, it will be replaced.(The date on the regulator is different from the build date of the bike)

Great information. I have gone through two regulators on my 06 SG. It's too bad they don't publish the date information so you can check for yourself if you have theculprit version.

Couldn't you just ask the tech on the phone at your dealer and then look on your bike? Seems better than going all the way to the dealer and wasting 1/2a day.

Do you know if the date stamp on the regulator is visable without removing it from the bike? I know my bike build date is 04/06 so I could be close enough to have one of the bad ones [:@][:'(].
Thanks

Good stuff, guys. I am taking mine in Saturday for the Iginiton/Fork Lock and wanted info on this recall. Just found if you go to the Harley Service website and input your VIN, the voltage regulator safety recall is showing up now. It wasn't yesterday.

Received my notice in today's mail. It looks like all 06 FLH bikes built between 11/08/05 and 03/28/06 are covered. Plenty of time to get it checked for regulator build date and since I've had no trouble, I'll give the shop plenty of time to get the new product in house. Also let them do it along with some other service, like tires will be due soon for replacement. It's good to get the miles on her.
