MY REAR BRAKES STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN MOTION. THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL BECAME ROCK SOLID & WOULD NOT DEPRESS. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS CHECKED & FOUND TO HAVE PLENTY IN THE RESERVOIR. I HAD A HARLEY DAVIDSON TECHNICIAN ANALYZE IT & WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS UNIT HAS GONE BAD, I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ABS UNIT FOR HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES BUT ONLY THROUGH YEARS 2011.

I WAS RIDING NORMAL SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MPH AND WENT INTO VERY DANGEROUS WOBBLE/ WEAVE. I LET GO OF THROTTLE AND LAYED MY BODY WEIGHT OVER THE TANK AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW TO A STOP. CHECKED AND FOUND ALL SPOKES ON REAR WHEEL WERE DEAD AND LOOSE. BIKE ONLY HAS 1800 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SEEN TONS OF FORUMS ONLINE ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND YET HARLEY HAS NOT MADE THIS A LEGIT RECALL OR KNOWN PROBLEM...

TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 65 MPH, BIKE DEVELOPED AN UNSTABLE CONDITION THAT FELT SIMILAR TO RIDING ON AN UNDER INFLATED REAR TIRE. VISUAL INSPECTION FOUND EXTREMELY LOOSE SPOKES ON THE REAR WHEEL RIM RESULTING IN THE TIRE TRAVELING AT A DIFFERENT AXIS THAN THE HUB WHEN UNDER LOAD.

CURRENTLY AWAITING RETURN OF THE BIKE AFTER WARRANTY REPAIR. *TR
