“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“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. …”
