My dealer called to tell me the side stand parts were in but says that I have the tall windshield information before they do. The windshield recall (#0831) was posted here about a month ago. Has anyone had this addressed by there dealer?

there is a recall on the tall windshields.
If your dealer will go to HDnet
Go to the Buell section
Click on Buell service bulletins

It is the very top one!

After performing the sidestand replacement my dealer told me that they could not find any recall information on the tall windshield but told me that there had been a notice that there would be a recall.

Dave can you indicate what the recall details as the "fix"?

When I called my dealer to pass on the info from Dave, the service manager found it and ordered the parts. Hopefully I have the sidestand and the windshield bolts done by next week.

The fix is that they are replacing the bottom two "pins" with bolts so the windshield can't fly off.
Have your dealer follow the steps I posted above and they will find all the info they need.

So does this mean you can't go back to the stock windshield after the fix?
