Thanks Wayne but I gotta stop although I do see humor in just about everything.

RE: Bob Question

dont think i believe it. thats the first time i heard of those problems. If it did happen, it must be a one off I have a bob and its 100% good. maybe the guy weighed 300 pounds and he had a 400 pound wife.

Even harleys have their limitations.

RE: Bob Question

I think it would be hard to do, it looks like the weight is evenly distributed between the 2 shock bolts. Would have to be alot pressure to snap. Like going off a jump or something. But just riding down the road, that doesnt sound right.

RE: Bob Question

Heard about it one time on a 02 wide glide at about 1500 miles, The guy pulled in his drive way and it broke, Harley gave him a new one but wanted his old one to do some research on it. I have never heard about it before or since and this would be the last thing I would concern myself with on the new bike.

RE: Bob Question

First off I want to say I love my Street Bob and I would own another in a heart beat. The upper bolt on mine did break about two weeks ago. I have about 1400 miles on it and was driving about 50MPH and heard some rattling when I looked back to see the shock was hanging off the left side. I weigh about 205 and have not hit any major bumps in the road since I have had it. I have babied that bike since day one. My dealer was amazed!. He asked what I hit and I said nothing. If I would have hit something too break that bolt like that I don't think I would have been around anymore. Since they relaced it the bike handles alot better than it did before it broke.
