	I was traveling down hwy 83 outside of leakey tx, in the texas hill country, on 07/13/05 when all five of the belt drive sproket bolts backed out causing one bolt to sheer inside the wheel hub causing the sproket to dis-lodge from the wheel. i had to use evasive action in order not to upset the 02 fxd harley davidson motorcyle with only 7,300 original miles on it. all required and recommended maintenance was performed at texan harley davidson dealership in conroe, tx and i have all receipt records to document all required and recommend service has been performed on this motorcyle by texan harley davidson. no where in the owner's manual does it say to be extra cautious about the five rear sproket bolt assemblys could possibly back out causing serious injury or death. most motorcyle manufacturers use safty anti-back off plates mounted on and around the sproket bolts assembly, but harley davidson choose's to ignore this potential deadly safty issue. i took out an extended warranty, but harley davidson motor company denied the warranty claim and stated i would have needed to take out an additional extended warranty policy for this to be covered. i feel this is a grave safty concern with harley davidson motorcyle company and i will probably sell my motorcyle for this reason and disclose to any future potential buyer this defect made by harley davidson motor company.
