Example complaints

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

“While pulling away from a stop light, the seat started to slide off the rear fender. The bottom of the seat is hard plastic some how it cracked all the way around the seat mounting bracket so the seat will not stay in place when you drive. The seat retention nut and the seat bracket and the fender are all damaged. From normal use. I talk to the dealer they told me that they see this all the time. It sounds like maybe harley needs to fix this problem before someone gets killed...”
