50 amp circuit breaker recall has not solved the problem of bike shutting down and losing all electrical power. It just did it to me on the freeway around washington d.c. And I has to cross speeding traffic to get to the breakdown lane. For the past years the dealer gives me nothing but a runaround. Since harley acknowledges the poor design by replacing the breaker with a fuse and moving the location, it's obvious they should be doing another fix on bikes that still have the problem.
