Example complaints

Suspension: “My 2007 harleydavidson Flstf (fat boy) was engineered with a defect (front wheel is designed 3/4 off center between the fork tubes) which leaves the motorcycle prone to high speed wobble and to drift off center at moderate speeds. A high speed wobble can be deadly on a motorcycle. I almost crashed.”

NHTSA complaint #10243057, filed 2008-09, 800 miles

Body and structure: “On my 2007 Harley-Davidson fatboy, the front axle tilts/leans to the right side of the bike. This has done two things. First, it has reduced the amount of tread that is available for making right hand turns. Secondly, and most importantly it is wearing only on the right side of the tire. The tire wear to one side combined with less tread available due to this flawed design has presented a serious safety issue with regard to grip going around corners. It first began with a minor crash that involved myself, this bike, and the pavement. A car pulled into my intended path of travel. …”

Wheels: “When loosing my grip on the handle bar, at approximately 35 MPH, the front end wobbles. If I take one hand off the grip at a steady speed the front end wobbles more. I also notice the wobble is worse on deceleration. I can feel the front end at 30 - 55 MPH and the longer I let loose my grip the quicker and more drastic the wobble becomes. I have checked the front wheel bearings and the steering head bearings are tight. I have also replaced the front tire with another dunlop tire. The wobble isn't very noticeable with both hands tightly on the handle bar grips.”

NHTSA complaint #10381929, filed 2011-02, 19,958 miles

Electrical system: “The contact owns a 2007 Harley-Davidson Flstf. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the ignition switch began to smoke along with sparks. The switch was located on top of the fuel tank. The engine stalled and then all of the lights turned off. He was able to safely pull to the side of the road. He then turned the console off. However, the motorcycle and the on-switch had completely burned. He changed the wiring and was able to drive to his home. He had not contacted the dealer or the manufacturer to-date. The current and failure mileages were 46,009”
