If is is a safety recall, I believe they will still honor the recall with installation, free of charge. I just had my 2000 M2 done in mid-December 2009. Same situation; I'm not the original owner, the PO never had the recall performed.
Call a H-D Buell support dealer and have your VIN in hand. They will run the number and tell you if they will replace it. Good luck. |

I'll be interested to find out what the "Showa recall" was. Here are the only two on file with the feds for a 1998 S1W.
