Great, another problem. A hole in the tank. I was wondering what was happening to the gas, I thought someone was stealing it.

Old Bones and RHAAG,

My stupid 2010 FLHX has the exact same problems!!!!

Dang MOCO better get this crap fixed or we're all gonna move on!!

You would think that by now they could have solved this stuff.......we should all sign a letter to NHTSA!!!!!

That would fix it!

Yeah it is pretty ridiculous to spend $20 K(when you think about it) on a bike
and then have to drop another $4-6 K in it just to get it where it should have been when yoiu bought it, huh?
