What owners report
WAS RIDING AND WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP THE FRONT BRAKES COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS COMPLETLY IMMOVABLE
I FILLED THE GAS TANK AND RETURNED HOME. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THE WIFE NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE GARAGE. I WENT OUTSIDE AND NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE WAS ON THE FLOOR. I STARTED INVESTIGATING AS TO WHY THIS OCCURRED. I WASN'T ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTICED THAT WHEN I LIFTED THE FRONT OF THE TANK, THE LEAK WOULD STOP. I TOOK THE BIKE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND BETWEEN US WE DETERMINED A WELD ON THE FRONT OF THE TANK WAS THE LEAK. WE DRAINED APPROXIMATELY A GALLON AND A HALF OF FUEL OUT AND THE LEAK STOPPED. I CONTACTED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE BIKE DOWN AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT, BUT DO TO THE AGE IT WOULD LIKELY NOT BE COVERED. I
I JUST GOT ON TO MY BIKE AND COMMING UP TO A CURVE AT THE END OF MY STREET I GRABBED MY FRONT BRAKE AND HAD NO BRAKE RESPONSE AT ALL. IT RESULTED IN ME CRASHING INTO A FENCE AT LOW SPEED. HARLEY HAS RECALLED THE ABS ON OLDER MODEL BIKES BUT MINE HAS THE SAME MODULE AS THOSE BIKES RECALLED. NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE ON 2014 BIKES YET.
PURCHASED OUR 2014 STREET GLIDE SPECIAL ON APRIL 21, 2018. ON JUNE 11, 2018 THE PINS HOLDING THE RIGHT SADDLEBAG FAILED CAUSING THE SADDLEBAG TO FALL OFF. (WE ALWAYS CHECK BEFORE A RIDE!), LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. WE WERE DOING ABOUT 55 MPH ON A MOUNTAIN HWY GOING UPHILL AND ON A SLIGHT LEFT TURN. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE PINS IN 2015 AND THAT OURS HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2017. SO, NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH THE RECALLED REPLACEMENT PINS? DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE OUR SADDLEBAGS. BECAUSE IT'S A SPECIAL THEY ARE ASKING OVER $600 TO REPLACE THE BAG. WE'VE ONLY HAD THE BIKE 7 WEEKS.
I RIDE 2014 HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE. COMING HOME FROM WEEKEND RIDE. I STOPPED TO PUT ON WARMER CLOTHES, WHEN I GOT OFF FREEWAY, WENT TO DOWN SHIFT AND MY SHIFTER SHAFT AND SHIFTER ARM WERE STRIPPED OFF. I HADN"T TOUCHED MY SHIFTER FOR 200 MILES. I WAS LEFT STRANDED AND HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW. I WENT ON HARLEY WEBSITE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM 2013 AND UP OF FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. HARLEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL WITCH I FILL IS THERE PROBLEM. BEING STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IS DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON HARLEYS PART. I HAVE HAD 4 OTHER HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES IN 35 YEARS RIDING AND HAVE NEVER BROKE DOWN. THIS IS CLEARLY BAD MANUFACTURING ON HA
