I'm pretty fond of my oilhead. In 20-odd K miles and soon-to-be 1.5 years of ownership, I've had the following problems: 1. Dealer incorrectly attached fuel-line quick disconnects, leading to small gas leak when tank was completely full. Dealer fixed. 2. Bolts holding stupid plastic rear fender loosened. Noticed and tightened. 3. Tail light filament in tail/brake light bulb burnt out, electrical system compensated by supplying low voltage to the brake light filament until I replaced the bulb. Other than that, zero problems or niggles of any sort. Of course, I would expect any modern bike would be equally trouble-free while it's still young. -Lujo jay carlson wrote:

LOL! I must admit, it'd save a lot of time and trouble on the part of the poor slobs who otherwise keep a Harley in the garage all year in order to trailer it to Sturgis once a year and ride it a few miles from bar to bar . -E
