Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The windshield is mounted on three struts -- the middle one controls the up and down position of the shield and holds it in position; the outer two move freely up and down with no restraint. The center strut broke causing the windshield to suddenly fly up and back and then settle in against the front of the motorcycle. In that position, full wind force is directed against the rider and passenger. Further, the outer two struts are free to move up and down so any passing turbulence such as another car or truck causes the windshield to literally flap in the breeze. …”
