I was very very nervous about the recall, but I eventually got my head around finding a dealer to complete the work CORRECTLY.
Planet Honda in Chadds Ford Pennsylvania (near the delaware state line) offered to do the recall work while I waited. I was told that the mechanic had done a few bikes (no problem) and I could be riding again in under two hours.
The work was performed just like it was promised and things look great. I checked as many connections as I could and the blue high beam indicator lamp is brighter as so are the headlights.
HOWEVER - I pulled over to take a few pictures on my last ride and the hazard lights no longer function! I use this feature whenever entering and exiting toll booths (ever since a truck almost ran me over) as well as when I sit along the side of the road... taking pictures.
Did the hazard diode have to be removed and switched over? And left out? Does the NEW harness have the diode installed? Does this indicate that MORE problems are around the corner because of careless work.
I will let you all know when I go back to the dealer next week.
