“Scenario: 2016 ultra 4200 miles that I purchased with zero miles from the dealer. It has always been serviced by the dealer as well. The brakes were fine. I parked at a restaurant and when I came back outside I pulled up to the street and had brakes. I pulled out onto the street and I had no brakes whatsoever on my back brakes and my front brakes were doing some kind of grabby on off thing at 10mph. It was scary as hell, no back brakes and almost no front brakes. The back brakes just went down all of the way. I had to trailer the bike 90 miles back to tulsa. …”
