AT DAYLIGHT I NOTICED THAT THE DRIVE BELT WAS ALMOST OFF THE WHEEL SPROCKET AND AFTER A MORE CAREFUL LOOK I REALIZED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING HAD BUSTED SUDDENLY, LEAVING THE

I HAVE NOTIFIED BOTH BUELL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND A LOCAL DEALER, BUT REPLACEMENT OF SHIELD HAS BECOME PROBLEMATIC. *AK I HAVE SEARCHED THE DATABASE ON THIS WEBSITE AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ISSUED IN AUGUST OF 2006. THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM TWO PLASTIC FASTENERS WITH METAL BOLTS.
