Default Quick question for my evo gurus

I searched, but couldn't find an earlier post that was on here. It was talking about stock bolts somewhere in the front end that were a safety concern?? I have a 95 Heritage. I remember people saying they should be replaced because the factory bolts were known to break. So just would like a little info on this and if it was only certain years/models, and recommended fix. Thanks

The search function here doesn't get you very far.

Google "Broken pinch bolt harley"
