I called my dealer, Black Hills HD, asked for the service department, and was told that they won't be taking calls until the 18th of August because of the Sturgis Rally. By the time everyone in Rapid City with an '07 or '08 CVO gets lined up for the "fix", I should be able to get mine in by next spring.
I'm sure glad I bought my bike from the local dealer so I can get such priority treatment!
I've decided to quit enjoying my bike and treat it like a jigsaw puzzle. I'll find a piece here or there that fits, then go do something else for a few weeks. This way I'll save money on gas, and my Edsel will last that much longer! Maybe in a couple of years I will be able to get this "Product Improvement" deal looked at. By not rushing, MAYBE they'll have the whole thing figured out by then.
And, as an additional benefit, I won't be on a diet of lightly salted roasted nuts all summer!
-Anyway, I'll be sure to let you know how it works out.
