Consumer Description

EXTREME HEAT COMING FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH RUNS VERY CLOSE TO MY RIGHT LEG. NOT TOO NOTICEABLE WHILE RIDING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS BUT WHEN IN TRAFFIC OR AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS IT BECOMES UNBEARABLE. WHEN I QUESTIONED THE DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID ITS NORMAL AND THIS IS THE WAY THEY RUN, BUT... I COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF I SPEND OVER $2000.00 TO CHANGE OVER THE EXHAUST TO TAKE OUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. ITS OVER $30,000.00 FOR THIS BIKE WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO MAKE IT SAFE TO RIDE??? HARLEY DAVIDSON KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WONT FIX IT. I HAD A 2011 MODEL ALSO WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
