What owners report
THE CLEVE-BLOC ASSEMBLIES USED IN THE 1999 YEAR MODEL HARLEY DAVIDSON TOURING BIKES CAN NOT HANDLE THE STRESS OUT ON THEM IN NORMAL RIDING WITHOUT FLEXING AND ALLOWING REAR SWINGARM MOVEMENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ON LATER YEAR MODELS, HD HAS USED A SOLID ASSEMBLY DUE TO THE EARLIER YEARS HAVING FAILURE ISSUES FROM THE SILICON LEAKING OUT. *NM
THE DESIGN OF THIS MOTORCYCLES FRAME LEAVES THE POTENTIAL FOR THE OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE LEADING TO A CRASH THAT WILL INJURE SELF OR MAY EVEN LEAD TO DEATH. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SWING ARM FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION IS MOUNTED TO THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE ONLY TWO MOTOR MOUNTS HOLD THIS ASSEMBLY IN PLACE AGAINST SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT AND THEY ARE FAR FROM THE MOUNT POINT. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE FORCES APPLIED TO THE REAR WHEEL IN LEANING THROUGH A CORNER, RIDING ON UNEVEN SURFACES, OR EVEN RIDING IN WINDY SITUATIONS (SUCH AS ON THE INTERSTATE NEAR LARGE VEHICLES) CAUSE LEVERAGE ON THE SWING ARM AND THAT LEVERAGE PUSHES THE WHEELS OUT OF LINE TO ONE ANOTHE
WHILE OPERATING MOTORCYCLE ON A CITY ROAD THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A GROWLING NOISE AND CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT ON AN INTERSTAE HIWAY PERFORMING A TURN AS THE LOSS OF POWER SURLEY WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY. THE PROBLEM IS OCCURING ON ENOUGH HD THAT A SERVICE BULLITIEN HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT HD WILL NOT DO THE UPGRADE UNTILL FAILURE DOES OCCUR. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FATALITY DOES OCCUR.*AK
