What owners report
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE MOTORCYCLE'S ELECTRICITY TO THE LIGHTS HAD LOST POWER ON SIX OCCASIONS. THE SERVICE DEALER CONTINUED TO CHANGE FUSES BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NEVER BE SAFE TO DRIVE.
THE SOLID WHEELS ON MY 2005 HARLEY-DAVIDSON VRSCA MOTORCYCLE ARE A SAFETY HAZARD ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS WHENEVER I GET CAUGHT IN THE "WAKE" OF ANY LARGER VEHICHLES PASSING ME OR WHENVER I PASS LARGER VEHICLES AND WHENEVER THERE IS A CROSS WIND ON ANY ROAD OR HIGHWAY. THESE WHEELS (FRONT AND BACK) CATCH THE WIND AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO WOBBLE. ON ONE OCASSION RECENTLY, I WAS ON INTERSTATE 10 IN TRAFFIC AND THERE WAS ALSO A CROSSWIND. IT WAS MOST DISTRESSING TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT FOR THE CROSS WIND AND THE TURBULENCE FROM (ESPECIALLY) S.U.V.'S & 18 WHEELER'S WHENEVER I PASSED OR WAS PASSED. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURANCE (WHEN THERE IS A CROSSWIND) OR ON THE HIGHWAY. *AK
