I purchased a new 2012 harley davidson at a harley davidson dealership in corith, tx. Soon after found that the abs light was coming on. I had taken it back to them to have them check it. Still had issues and had them look again. I've had issues with it since. Also took it to harley davidson dealership in sherman, tx. They had it for about two weeks. They said they replaced a wire. Still having issues told them about it several times. Little over a week ago i had a wreck in a turn because my back tire kept locking up and skidding. I had a friend following me that seen it. Now they tell me it's going to be about $11,000.00 for repairs from the wreck. They don't want to pay for it and are trying to blame me. Asking me if i did the two year brake line flush and asked me why i was riding it if abs wasn't working. I need help. At the cost of repairs the bike may be totaled. It's important to me i keep this bike. My older brother passed away in 2012. I was riding normal just wanting to relax after having open heart surgery in march. I just want my bike fixed and feel safe to ride it. I think i've paid enough to get that. Thank you

I've purchased a 2012 h. D. Fat boy. After 1200 miles, i've noticed that the throttle cables constantly contact against the nacelle and cause cable chafe and nacelle damage. I did mu own investigation and found out that the same problem exists among all soft tail models. I contacted harley davidson and they have refuse to fix the problem. If not fixed could result in safety, causing throttle to lock at high speed. *tr

When this motorcycle was new, after sitting in my garage for a couple of days the front brake lever would go all the way to the handlebars. I could pump it up and it would be ok until it set for a couple of days, no brake fluid was leaking out. Took it to the dealer and i don't know what all they did but the problem was still there. Today i rolled it out of the garage, @ 3851 miles, and pumped the lever. On the second pull, the bolt into the master cylinder, with a banjo fitting, blew out and brake fluid sprayed all over and, obviously, no brake. The threads in the master cylinder appear to be stripped and i cannot tighten the banjo fitting. I have read that several people have had the same problem of having to pump up the brakes on that year harley davidson. *tr
