Most Recent Complaints
I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND NEEDING USE MY FRONT BRAKES. MY FRONT BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND WAS LOCKED UP. THIS CAUSED ME TO LAY MY BIKE ON ITS SIDE. I NOW HAVE NO FRONT BRAKES AT ALL NOR CAN I SQUEEZE THE BRAKE HANDLE. MY SADDLE BAG IS SCRATCHED UP PRETTY BAD FROM LAYING IT DOWN. MY WIFE WAS ON THE BACK WITH ME AND IT THREW HER OFF THE BIKE. WE BOTH ONLY HAD MINOR SCRAPES AND BRUISES.

IN 2017 MY BRAKES FROZE UP. IT WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL HD SHOP, MOBILE BAY HARLEY DAVIDSON IN MOBILE, AL. I WAS INFORMED THAT ALL FLUIDS HAD BEEN CHANGED WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE BY MBHD. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FLUID HAD CAUSED THE ABS BRAKE CONTROL WAS BAD BECAUSE OF BAD BRAKE FLUID. SUBSEQUENTLY I WAS CHARGED $764.09 TO REPLACE. NOW THERE IS A RECALL. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY THROTTLE CONTROL QUIT. MOTOR ON BIKE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT WHEN I WENT TO ADVANCE THE THROTTLE NO RESPONSE. THEREFORE I HAD TO INDICATE A HAZARD BY PUTTING ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND THEN PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN. I HIT THE KILL SWITCH AND THEN TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF WAITED APPROXIMATELY 2 MIN THEN RESTARTED THE BIKE. JUST IMAGINE IF I WAS GOING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE THROTTLE CUT OUT AND I WAS T-BONED BY AN ONCOMING CAR. *TR
