While riding on 3/31/2018 i was approaching a stoplight and began my down shifting and braking. I stepped on the rear brake pedal and to my surprise there was little resistance, i pumped the pedal again only to have the same result. I then pumped the pedal several times noting same result as previous attempts but was able to stop using my front brake. We pulled off into a gas station parking lot to assess the problem. Upon inspection, i found one of two wires (red) on the rear brakelite switch sensor had melted off from the switch an was lying next to the switch sensor and fluid had leaked/sprayed out covering the surrounding area. Looking more closely, i found that the brass terminal post of the switch had melted off the switch housing and was still lodged within the wire connector. I recalled this happening to a relative a few years ago and in researching the issue through forums and general online research, i found there are several cases regarding this problem and even a recall (harley davidson recall 0145) which only covered 2009-2011. This safety issue obviously applies to the 2008 model fltri as well and should have been included.

Front brakes failed due to bad abs module with no warning. Very hard to pull in when trying to stop. Worked fine and now nothing. This could have resulted in myself wrecking (rear ending) someone if it happened a busy road.

The abs module on my bike has quit working. With the ignition on the module closes and the front brakes cannot be applied. If this were to happen while riding, a crash would be inevitable. The module should be designed so that there is an emergency bypass in the event the internals inside the module becomes stuck so that the rider is not suddenly without brakes. Harley davidson should issue an immediate recall.

The passenger floorboard/footboard mounting bolt is prone to sheer off. This ejects the 10-15 pound part from the motorcycle causing a serious safety hazard. This is a common occurrence and even though the part was redesigned in 2010 to include 2 mounting bolts the harley davidson corporation has denied that there is a problem with the earlier single mount bolt design. *tr
