| Description of the problem | While crossing rr tracks with rider on back of 2007 harley-davidson motorcycle at app 10 mph the rear shock broke causing tag bracket to come in contact with rear tire. The dealer is in process of repairing problem. My concern is that if this happens at higher rate of speed the bracket could cause rear tire to blow out or bracket break off causing rear fender to come in contact with rear tire. *nm |
