MY 2014 HARLEY HAS HAD TWO COMPENSATORS REPLACED AND NOW THEY ARE REPLACING A 3RD ONE IN LESS THAN TWO TEARS. THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED BUT FROM WHAT I READ THIS IS HAPPENING ON A LOT OF HARLEYS AND COULD BE DANGEROUST IF IT FAILED IN TRANSIT.

RIGHT REAR SADDLE BAG DEPARTED THE MOTORCYCLE ON I-90 JUST EAST OF WALLACE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS WAS 8 DAYS AFTER HAVING THE HARLEY DAVIDSON RECALL INCORPORATED AT A QUALIFIED DEALER IN ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. THE BAG DEPARTED WITHOUT WARNING AND I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE MOTORCYCLE TO A SAFE STOP IN THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE BAG SKIDDED ON THE PAVEMENT AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE I-90 EASTBOUND LANE. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND THE SITUATION OCCURRED WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAVE GREAT CONCERN THAT HAD THERE BEEN TRAFFIC BEHIND ME THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT/ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURY OR LOSS OF PROPERTY I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED
