RE: front end clunk HD recall M-1215
no don't bring it in if the bike doesn't have the problem.
it is a bulletin not a recall. its info to help fix problems.
a recall would have to be done, this is not a recall.
also it is only free if the bike is still under warranty, it doesn't extend the warranty.

RE: front end clunk HD recall M-1215
Could someone define the clunk? Is it when you hit a bump or something? Or when stopping hard as the front end dives down? I don't know if I have it or not? Thanks
