But like you learn quick on forums, a lot of times guys post things just to see their names in lights and have no clue what they're talking about. Kinda like dudes with an all stock bike that has jokes for the guy that's got 50 grand in his. Basically trying to have a conversation he can't afford to have on a level he'll never see.

the worst thing about the touring forum is the newbies.
what color bike should I get?
what jacket should I buy?
look I had a live to ride emblem installed!
I spent $xxx, so I'm a biker!
on the other hand, there are many experienced riders, sharing good knowledge.

would be like me driving down the street in my '14 truck and a quarter panel just flies off.
not really a good comparison. one is designed for the owner to remove/reinstall routinely. as such, it is the owners responsibility to make sure the fasteners are secured. if it happened on your way home from taking initial delivery from the dealer, I would point at the dealer.
I took a test drive in a new 1998 Camaro SS. I reached highway speed and the driver side t-top launched off the car. I watched it tumble thru the air in the rear view mirror, hit the road and shatter into tiny pieces. A quick look at the passenger side and I saw that the tops had not been latched down before they put me in the car. Luckily it didn't kill someone behind me. Went right back to the dealer, told them what happened, they said "sorry", put a top on from another car, and sent me on my way.
If that had happened a month after I bought the car I'm sure it would have been my own fault.

To anybody still paying attention to the original subject:
Check your fasteners and make sure they "snap" into the locked position with the required tension to hold them locked. If you don't have the tension, use washers to get the proper tension. Maybe Harley failed on this from the factory on the new models.
To the newbie that put $50k into his first bike:
your "cool". Happy?
Now simmer down. lol
who are the guys with "stock" bikes he is referring to?
maybe that's how they act on his Porsche forum.

Or to any of u guys who actually have experience on the subject please chime in and help us keep our community aware of this possibility...otherwise just read and learn. I'm just not the one that's gonna put up with ur bullying. Ur tenure here doesn't mean jack to me. And u can see me when u wanna see me. I'm in Atlanta and everybody knows me. So I'm not hard to find. U bullys don't intimidate me. To me it's a sign of weakness and deeper issues. Now shoo.

Yes very true....
What? You're a big dick? Ok I'll go with that....
I didn't know we were playing sports. I thought we were talking motorcycles.
All stock bike huh?
What shop did you pay to build that thing you're trailering around?
Well you don't.
Fixed that for ya!

It just doesn't make sense at all.
