You would normally think that it qualified for a recall huh? That could be a major safety issue. I wonder how many have crashed because of a broken swing-arm.

How did the swingarm break. Took bike to the local Harley Dealership, (sac harley) for a new rear tire. The next day went out for a ride with the wife 2 up and bike felt wobbly over bumps. Checked and found broken swingarm.

Took it back to the dealership and they told me to go pound sand. They said "things break".

Be glad you didn't crash. Yeah, I'd rent one if all else fails. What year is your bike?
