Default Made a few changes

Last weekend went for a little ride and about 200 miles out the bolts in the sprocket started to back out and took out the sprocket and rear wheel......... ( 60 mph and bolts start hitting the swing arm...= 7 to 10 seconds of fun) Not to sure about the chrome but it's riding season. Here some before and after what do you think.

Had a coupla friends with softails that the same thing happened. Bolts backed out at 55mph+. Close calls.
This **** happens too much with HD. Perhaps a class action lawsuit?

I don't know about any lawsuit since I put the wheels and pulley on myself.

Maybe I can sue myself and get some money from me ............... Naaaaa that a bad idea I think.... Is there a lawyer here that would counsel me on this.
