Consumer Description

ON MY 2003 HONDA GOLDWING WITH 3445 MILES AS I STARTED AROUND A 20 MPH CURVE IN ATLAS MI THE FRAME SEPARATED, THE PART OF THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE CENTER STAND AND THE REAR SUSPENSION ALLOWING THE BIKE TO DROP ALMOST TO THE PAVEMENT. THE TIRE WAS STOPPED ONLY BY THE PLASTIC INNER FENDER THAT STARTED TO MELT. HONDA'S ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE WELD FAILED. *NLM
