| Description of the problem | 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. |
