Guys,
 \\;
If you think that you have found a safety problem and want to get Harley's attention, check out the site below...

 \\;
Buell did a safety recall a 1.5 to 2 years \\;ago on their Ulysess model. \\; The bank angle sensor was activating and killing the engine. \\; The cause is different but the concern is the same.

Thanks OD Cleaver for the website http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm. I went online and filled out the complaint form in detail. This entire issue should have been put out by Harley Davidson as a recall long before now. I have had my fill of my bike sitting at the dealership since 6-13-08 with the dealer telling me in good faith that the part was to come off of backorder on 6/17, then being told 6/23??? What will Harley Davidson tell their dealers this Monday?
 \\;\\\\\\;
All of you riders out there that got your bike fixed with the current part are subject to \\;\\\\\\;the same failure again. Harley Davidon has designated a new part number for the part that will be sent out after the backorder stops. This means a redesigned and modified part will replace the current one. The gentleman I spoke with at 414-343-4056 at Harley Davidson Manufactoring was completely aware of this issue and blamed it on their vendor who supplies the manufacturer with this part.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I encourage others to visit the listed website that OB Cleaver was so kind to furnish us with and fill out the complaint form.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I am very pro Harley Davidson but this problem should be addressed by them in the appropiate recall manner. Hey it is warranty work, but the average rider want know why their bike ceases to run at a critical moment unless it does not happen at all. Because the defective part was changed prior to \\;\\\\\\;the rider \\;\\\\\\;ever having the problem, due to a recall.
 \\;\\\\\\;
I thank all of you for your support and comments.

I heard about this problem from some guys I met on a trip. I guess they are trying everything possible not to make it a recall. Has Harley ever had a recall???? I was told from a Harely mechanic that they get service bulletins for \\;\\\\\\;problems like this and fix the bikes as they come in for service and upgrades without saying anything. \\;\\\\\\;By the way, Harley's do have emergency flashers. Just push both turn signal buttons \\;\\\\\\;at the same time.

Just as an aside: "no four way flashers" It amazes me the things people don't know about their $20K+ investments. Read the manual!

You bet, I'm not letting this thing go until all of us are satisfied and informed. As soon as I get my SG fixed I will post the results with the new part number and full story. Hopefully that will be next week, I keep looking at the bare spot in the climate controlled bike garage. Wheep! Wheep!
