Example complaints

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

“I purchased this bike in jan. 2018 and found out that when going around corners at night on a dark road I am not able to see through a turn. Not even able to see the line on the inside of turn due to the lean angle a bike has compared to a car where this problem would not be an issue. I have contacted harley davidson company 2 times and they noted the concern with no resolution. I have had the bike to 2 seperate dealerships multiple times and no resolution for the concern. …”
