Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
several screws have fallen out. 3K mi. Now I see the dreaded HEADLIGHT problem 15K Mi, hi beam chrome is TOAST and the housing is bubbled. 16K mi, the Kickstand ALMOST fell off, bike had been to Chandler HD for the Kickstand Recall, there was no locktight on the bolts. 18K Battery TOAST, 21K front isolator gave out. 30K the fuel pump wires chaffed through and shorted to the frame. 33K Battery again. 34K miles, the kickstand is having issues again, 1 bolt sheared off the other was too loose, I added grade 8 bolts and installed safety wire, next will be a larger bolt, 5/16ths (stock)is too small for what its intended purpose is.
