| Description of the problem | I have a harley davidson 2004 ultra classic electraglide and as my wife and i were riding last saturday, she felt the back of here seat go back. She almost fell off the bike and if it wasn't for the license plate bracket not only would i have lost the tour pack, but my wife would have been scattered on the street. The bracket that holds the tour pack broke were the screws go through it like if someone had hacksaw the pipe. I fell that this is a dangerous situation. I have herd that i am not the only one that this has happened. Some of my fellow riders have take to me about this. I would appreciate an answer to this problem. Thankyou, rafael |
