ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

 The rear brake light switch failed in a manner similar to the report 11v506000. brake light would not illuminate when brake pedal depressed. replacement of the switch solved the problem. this malfunction is eerily similar to the named report. when i spoke to the dealer it was indicated that this problem is seen regularly. the problem is also widely reported on web harley davidson forums. it's obvious that this is a systemic safety problem that mandates expanding the vehicles affected.
POWER TRAIN - DRIVELINE

 The front spokes of this brand new low-mileage harley have rusted so heavily i fear they will break and cause an accident. the bike was always garaged and kept clean. harley blew it off and had no interest in helping repair the spokes. they said i had to deal with it myself. even a twenty year old pinto wouldn't do this! at twice the price of the competition no more harleys for me. this just isn't right and harley knows it but doesn't care.
