Official summary

SERVICE BULLETIN M1466: STREET - UPPER STEERING HEAD BEARING SEAL. REVISION. Purpose: This bulletin informs dealers that Harley-Davidson has developed a new upper steering head bearing seal for fitment on Street models. The new seal replaces the current seal on the upper steering head bearing only. The lower steering head bearing seal will still use the current seal. Current service procedures and specifications remain the same.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
