ABS module failure resulting in front brake locking up. ABS module failed resulting in brake failure. While I was not involved in any incident the failed part showed no signs of beginning to fail. One day I I got onto the motorcycle and when I went to squeeze the front brake it was hard as a rock and it locked up my front wheel. This particular failure happened in my driveway so nobody was in danger but it also had no warning lights on or gave any signs of failure prior to this incident. If this were to happen while riding the motorcycle it could potentially be deadly for the rider and passenger depending on riding conditions. The part failure has been verified by a Harley Davidson deale
HEAD GASKET LETS LOOSE AND OIL ALL OVER REAR TIRE! VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY IN MOTION, NOT GOOD.
THE "DAY MAKER HEADLIGHT " FOUND ON THE HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA CLASSIC IS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE.IN USING THE LED BULBS ON THIS SYSTEM THE REFRACTORY NATURE OF THE LENS DICTATES THAT A HORIZONTAL LINE WITH LIGHT BELOW THE LINE AND DARKNESS ABOVE IT A DISTANCE KEEPS THE LIGHT FROM SHINING INTO THE ONCOMING DRIVERS. THIS WORKS FINE IN AN AUTOMOBILE, BUT ON A MOTORCYCLE, IT BECOMES UNRIDEABLE .THE REASON BEING IS THAT WHEN YOU LEAN INTO A CORNER THE HORIZONTAL LINE DIPS TO THE SAME DEGREE AS THE MOTORCYCLE, AND THE DARKNESS ABOVE DIPS DOWN WITH THE BIKE SO THAT IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SEE INTO OR THRU THE CORNER (IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS SITUATION PLEASE PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO DOES).
