Owner report 11071686 · 2018-02-08 (February 8, 2018)
IN 2017 MY BRAKES FROZE UP. IT WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL HD SHOP, MOBILE BAY HARLEY DAVIDSON IN MOBILE, AL. I WAS INFORMED THAT ALL FLUIDS HAD BEEN CHANGED WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE BY MBHD. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FLUID HAD CAUSED THE ABS BRAKE CONTROL WAS BAD BECAUSE OF BAD BRAKE FLUID. SUBSEQUENTLY I WAS CHARGED $764.09 TO REPLACE. NOW THERE IS A RECALL. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND NEEDING USE MY FRONT BRAKES. MY FRONT BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK AND WAS LOCKED UP. THIS CAUSED ME TO LAY MY BIKE ON ITS SIDE. I NOW HAVE NO FRONT BRAKES AT ALL NOR CAN I SQUEEZE THE BRAKE HANDLE. MY SADDLE BAG IS SCRATCHED UP PRETTY BAD FROM LAYING IT DOWN. MY WIFE WAS ON THE BACK WITH ME AND IT THREW HER OFF THE BIKE. WE BOTH ONLY HAD MINOR SCRAPES AND BRUISES.
