07 Ultra..23000 miles fairing brackets, 4 of them I understand, were cracked and front was wobbley. Replaced under warranty with new ones that are suppose to be thicker.

Every 3000 miles or so while touring after riding about 250 miles would stop for a break or gas or dinner and bike would not restart. Seemed like there was not gas getting to the engine. Had it towed several times, when fuel line quick connection was disconnected and reconnected bike would start right up. No error codes ever showed up on computer. Finally after 4 occurances HD figured out that is was a check valve in the gas tank. Hopefully problem is fixed, time will tell. All work under warranty.

voltage regulator at about 14,000 milies. one light bulb.

2 years and 9K miles so far and no parts problems, so far. <fingers crossed>. Did have a problem at around 2K miles that turned out to be a loose electrical connection on a fuel injector.

2001 FLHT, bought it new----1.Stator went bad @ 22K, cause was open circuit in windings, out of warranty 2.Crank position sensor @ 68K, unknown root cause, replacement CPS was bad out-of-box, and we all know HD's policy on returning electrical parts 3. Diaphragm in petcock failed @ 77k-----try and fix THAT on the side of the road.

front wheel bearing went bad on 09 dynna fxd, pushing 12000ml. took it in and was told warrenty would cover it but not the tire, the tire has tread within specs but it has unuasual wear on it. now i need a new tire because of the unsaual wear but warreny wont cover one because of the miles i got on the bike i havent been told that the tire needs to be replaced becouse of wear or lack of tread just that the warrenty would not cover the tiae because of the miles on the bike. im i wrong for bushing a for a new tire cause the shop that did the 10000ml service said i didnt need a tire and im sure most would push for a new tire for sales but the shop could cleary see it didnt need one.

07 Fatboy, the Harley flush gas cap is garbage. Cost waaay too much, leaks, incredibly difficult to open. Frankly just a poor design.

Mine's been good, although I had to replace the upper inner fairing windshield inserts. Mine were the old, pressed in style. I never, ever over torqued 'em, still they pulled out.

Got the newer screw in type, haven't had a problem since.

Oh yeah, the gas gauge light bulb burned out. That's what led to the insert problem.
