oh ya i agree... glider ,they shouldnt but seems like something is happening i was just hopeing someone had some info that was a for sure type deal .. maybe build dates or early or late model yr problem ..i just cant seem to find anything solid on it ..but one thing for sure ive only seen 2-3 posts of people that it actually happened to and the rest seems to be just people itching about it .. ive tryed calling harley .... and ive even called some dealers in calif.and florida ,because those guys ride all yr and it just doesnt seem that wide spread ... i hang at a few of the biker bars in the area where i live and ive made a few friends there ,and one of which is the head tech at the dealership near my home and he stated to me that it wasnt all the wide spread so i dont know . my bike runs fine has great oil pressure and dont vibrate anymore than normal.. and im not hard on it ... so i quess ill just ride it and if it pukes well it pukes ..hopefully someone will eventually be able to shead some light on this subject some time soon so we'll all know for sure how big orsmall it really is keith
