Default 2012 Deluxe spoke issue

I've read the threads and as always very informative. My bike was shaking at high speeds so I checked and the back wheel had extremely loose spokes throughout. I took it to the dealer yesterday and today they called to say they are ordering new rim and all associated parts. All of this is covered under warranty.

With all of the grumbling about stealers, I just wanted to give kudos to Harley Davidson of New Bern for getting it right!

Do you have the standard wheels or the optional tubeless spoke wheels?
