Its the dynamics of the internet forum experience. People are more compelled to come onto an internet forum and post when they have a problem as opposed to when things are going good. This gives people who read these forums an inaccurate sense that the problem is larger than it really is.

John,

The dealer should be very well aware of the spark plug wire chaffing.
I have called HD customer service and they too want to deny the problem but I'm calling BS. You must not have a Rushmore, if you did I bet yours would be messed up too. You must be a dealer.
