2006: “The bolts on the rear sprocket of my 2006 fxdb harley street bob came loose and sheared off, causing the rear wheel to lock. There was no residue indicating any type of threadlocker had been used. I bought the bike new and have never had these parts removed. This malfunction could have very easily resulted in my death at a higher speed.”
