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

“The front end of the motorcycle made a loud noise. Upon inspection of the motorcycle by the dealership, they indicated the front wheel was wobbling and the spacer bar was mobile also. The spacer bar was tightened, however 2 weeks later, the front end seized up and the bike flipped over. The front tire failed and caused the bike to fall. The consumer has made repeated complaints about the font tire since purchase. Scc”
