Oh, you're talking about the passing lamps. That is definitely not something you see every day. Or ever for that matter.

Good luck. Hopefully they'll find the reason and fix it instead of just putting on a new light.

 

Never heard of one blowing up the outer glass like that, wow. Hope they find the problem and fix it and not just replace the bulb/glass.

 

Good thing you weren't standing in front of the lamp when it blew! Could have extremely bad results.

 

Especially if it was your reflection that busted it!!!

 

that is a odd one just sitting there like that I'm sure they will fix it but let us know what they think happened

 

Is this what happens when you close the garage door, turn off the lights and say bloody marry into your spotlamp 3 times?

 

Or maybe, does he have a neighbor who is really pissed at him, owns a sniper rifle, but has slightly bad aim?

If the dealer insists on coming to get it, I'd suggest they bring a replacement light and install it and call it done. My vote for cause would be the reflector/lens unit clamped in slightly crooked or was overly tightened and was under strain. With enough heat expansion cycles, the strain made it break. I don't understand their "terror" of having you ride it. While your dealer may not have heard about this, there have been several reports in this and other forums about this happening. A long time ago, my dad told me that with any mass produced item, if something happened to mine, it likely has happened to lots of others. That holds true with this problem also. This will test your dealer as it will be easy enough for them to claim some rock chip you didn't notice weakened the lens and they won't cover it. If they do cover it, especially without an argument, you chose well.

 

I'm leaning towards the grassy knoll theory too! Honestly have never seen nothing like that. Wow

 

This same thing happened to my buddy recently on a Street Glide. We were on a trip with the bikes parked on a ferry. We came back about 4hrs later and the glass from his left passing lamp was just laying on the ground in front of the bike??? We were so confused as it was not an area which anyone would be walking by. And this is Japan...people don't go by and just bust people's lights for no reason. Not to mention my limited was park right behind his as well as other bikes behind mine.
