Correct me if i am wrong...cause I know you will. But the purpose of the latest product recall wasn't to eliminate the fuel from dripping, rather it was to reroute the fuel vent away from the exhaust. and getting rid of a possible kink area on the hose. Along with the other items on the recall.

Timi, if your actually dripping fuel right after a fill up then I would say your topping off the tank to beyond the vent hole. Been there, done that. And if it's hot outside it's even that much more exaggerated.

I get drips just after a ride - you can visibly see fumes comoing out of the hose, and I'll get a couple drops of liquid gas.

Of course, let me amend that statement. It is a vent so naturally when the gas fumes condense there will be a drip or two. As of yet, 6500 or so miles later I haven't had drips except when i mistakenly topped off in the desert. Then the drips were more along the lines of biblical proportions between having way too much gas in the tank and it being almost 110 outside after a long run.

I dumped by bike due to the kickstand spring falling off. Will Buell cover a new left side pod?

Call your dealership, they can always inquire about it. Maybe get you a good-will.
