Brakes: “Purchased the 2014 h-d electraglide ultra classis the day before realizing the existence of the defect described herein. While riding at approximately 60 MPH, I set the cruise control. The cruise control is to disengage upon application of any of the following: front brake/back brake/clutch/rolling the throttle forward. Upon nearing a vehicle ahead of me, I 'tapped' the front brake; this action, however did not disengage the cruise control. I tried again, using more force on the front brake lever...again, the cruise control remained engaged. …”

Electrical system: “After using the usb as a media source, the next time the motorcycle is power cycled the stereo defaults to fm and resets the fade control. Harley initially said this was due to software, but then changed to saying it was normal operation. On november 16th, I spoke with case manager (john), who advised that this is due to the system sensing a voltage change when shutting down. I have replaced the head unit twice; once with a factory refurbished device, and then with a 2015 model. I must note that I did not have this issue for the first 2 years of ownership. …”
