Default New Harley issue!!!!!
Deciding if I will ever buy a Harley new again. List what type of issue and bike you bought under 10K milage.

2010 Street Bob brand new.
2 rear fenders (stress cracks) with in first 2K miles.
Clutch cable pull out from inside transmission. Around 3k miles.
Broken bottom motor mount @ 8K miles.
Almost scared to see what my 10K service brings.....

I've got an 07 Street Bob with over 30,000 miles and I've had a primary leak and some broken teeth on the starter (replaced under warranty). I'd buy Harley again.
