ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

 Motorcycle quits while riding. circuit breaker was recalled and replaced in june, 2008. on a ride with the motorcycle on 6/20/2008. the motorcycle lost all power, engine and electrical, while riding in traffic. result could have been catastrophic since brake lights and emergency signals do not function without electrical power. got to side of road and after a minute or two, the power is restored. this happened twice on the same day and is very disconcerting. the dealer has no remedy, other than to have me leave the vehicle for labor intensive diagnosis at my expense. please advise. replacement of the main circuit breaker did not resolve the problem. *tr

SEATS - MOTORCYCLE

 I purchased a 2002 harley-davidson flhtcui 1-29-02. it currently only has 1200 miles on it. it has always been garaged and well cared for. i was taking a ride 8-27-03 and while going around a curve the seat shifted causing me to wobble a little. i went home, removed the seat and found the plastic around the seat mounting tongue cracked, causing the seat to come loose. i feel this is very unacceptable quality on a motorcycle with only 1200 miles on it. *ak

 At 25000 miles the frame cracked on my harley davidson ultra classic. this rendered the bike un-drivable. it did not result in an accident, but could have resulted in loss of control. the dealer said the weld was defective on the frame. the only possible fix was to replace the frame. it could not be repaired safely. *nm
