| The rear cam bearing on my 1999 harley davidson roadking has failed. the manufacture is entirely aware of the design defect. i fail to see the logic on how my vehicle must damage other engine components before harley davidson backs up their obvious design flaw. the dealer was informed on 8-1-02 that i'm now hearing a noise near rear cam bearing area. i asked to have my harley repaired harley davidson failed to do so. i feel h-d should replace the cam bearing prior to failure. i tried to contact h-d motor company and got nowhere. i guess when demand in a product is high, the dealer doesn't have to back it up . did i mention ill never buy another harley davidson. please help! thank you.*ak | |||
