| Most of the harley davidson motorcycles have the passenger footrest right beside or overtop of the exhaust. this has caused me to actually burn through my protective boots i wear. i have not been injured yet, but should a child or person who does not wear protective shoes could seriously have major burns to their feet and ankles.*ak | |||

| My brother had a low speed (under 20 mph) crash on a 2003 harley heritage softail. upon hitting the ground, the bike burst into flames. this is very unusual as the speed was low, the impact was not severe (my brother ended up with a severely sprained ankle), but the bike was totaled. i believe there is cause for concern. the bike is a fuel injected twin cam 88 engine. *la | |||
