    I never heard of a recall on the '03 final drive. what part was it exactly? the only one I knew was the kickstand.

    I think MPG is about the same, its more about how you ride these bikes than anything else.

    I can get as much as 65 with my 9 but as low as 32 if I push it hard.

    They recalled the belt. Maybe both sprockets too. Because the belt was weak that year. Changed the set up in '04. Firebolt projectors recalled too...

    Run your VIN# http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/C...bmLocale=en_US

    I always get 50mph (almost all the time :D:p ) on my 12. It has K&N filter, factory Race pipe, and ECM.

    There was no recall on 03 belts. Some were replaced by the factory under warranty but they did not have a recall.
