BTW it is only the front part. Swingarm is the same, no changes at all so maybe are we talking about a new engine? maybe new engine mounts? Also theres no roadglide in 2010...

Holy crap! After reading this I just put my '09 on Ebay. I believe everything I read on the internet and on see on TV.

Seriously, I bought an extended waranty. I'm not going to worry regardless what anyone says. I am happy with my bike!

ok .. thats the same thing they said on the other board but they did say it was because of some stress cracks or something.. I believe you . S&*T happens but why does everyone have to freak out over this ?... Damn guys its hot everywhere turn on the fans and chill out . Extended warranty or not if it comes up as a safety issue you can bet it will be a recall...
Other than that sit back and wait........I heard the same crap about my 06 and i never have had a recall so it must be ok ?... Rode ok again today ...

funny that this is the largest HD forums out there and i have never seen anything about 09 frames cracking. we would know about it here before MOCO does...i refuse to believe one shop has 14 09's all with frame failures. kinda like i refuse to pay to belong to a message board.

I have payed to belong to a board but I also had a job then ... I find the board to be in question a little strange with a lot strange members ... At least after today I now know that everyone is sane and happy here ?..........

Perhaps HD is going to modify the frame to allow for a radiator?
