fluid leak/crash resulted
I have a 2007 Road King (or had)....coming home from work it started to wobble and increased as I proceeded up the road to pull over....I lost control of the bike causing me to slide, striking a tree. Damages were severe and they totalled the bike....I believe it was a fluid leak and the seals failed. My insurance has doubled because of the accident and I have asked for a hearing to dispute it....has anyone ever heard of this happening and have any suggestions...no help on either part of bike shop or insurance company

Where was the fluid leaking from?
|
Ummmm, which fluid? Which seal?
|
gotta be like riding on ice.
supply more details. even with the rear all squirrely as long as the front is tracking there shouldn't be a problem, given enough space and time to gather wits Mike |
Not enough info!!
|
Hard to believe.

Had an oil pump go out on my 03 Heritage that had the breathers vented via hoses down under the frame. Got a bit sideways at 65+ when it happened but was able to save it.
Take a real close look for where the fluid may have come from. |
Was there a trail of the fluids leading up to the tree? What kind of fluids? I have never heard of a catastrophic loss of fluids from a seal..... at least not enough to cause loss of control.

I'm startin' to smell a rat (but I'll give it a little more time)!
|
I had a bike in the 70s that blew a oil line to the cooler and it caused me slide all over the place....but i didn't crash...
