I am the unfortunate owner of a honda vtx 1800n that has the all to well known rear flange bearing defect. this issue has been reported by hundreds of people to nhtsa and on several other websites yet nhtsa has ignored the problem. after researching it i found all of these complaints as well: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2004/honda/vtx1300 note that the 1800 and 1300 rear end are similar (just the gear ratio is different). i hope this issue will be looked at and a recall issued. *tr |
