Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN YOU APPLIED PRESSURE TO LEVER TO STOP. HAD TO USE REAR BRAKE TO STOP MOTORCYCLE. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND WORKED LEVER AND SEEMED TO FREE UP AND WORK OK. RESTARTED BIKE AND DROVE OFF. BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK. DROVE BIKE FOR ABOUT 30 MILES AND BRAKE LEVER FROZE UP AGAIN. NO BRAKES IN THE FRONT. HARD LEVER AGAIN. FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. TOOK BIKE HOME AND LET SIT IN GARAGE. STARTED BIKE THE NEXT MORNING AND BACKED OUT OF GARAGE. HIT FRONT BRAKE TO SLOW BIKE DOWN AND LEVER WAS FROZE UP AGAIN. TOOK BIKE TO HARLEY DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE ABS HCU PART NUMBER 48343-09. THIS ALL HAPPENED WHEN THE BIKE HAD 31268 MILES ON IT. THEY TOLDED ME THAT "THIS HAPPENS" NOTICED ON FOX NEWS THAT THEY MAY HAVE A RECALL. THIS HAPPENED IN 10/2013 GOD FORBID SOMEONE GETS HURT FROM THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GREAT TO HAVE REAR BRAKES
