| My husband owned an american ironhorse 2005 slammer, in may of this year he was in a serious accident on the bike hospitalizing himself, and losing a friend. we purchased the bike new in april of '06 and have come to learn that there was a safety recall on the bike's rear shock absorbers in april of '05. with american ironhorse going out of business we are hoping to hind out if my husband's motorcycle was one on recall and if it was ever serviced. *tr | |||
