| Description of the problem | On 3/27/07 i unlocked my 2007 harley davidson electra glide and backed out of my garage. Backing out requires me to turn the handle bars to the right. Once out of the garage i turned the forks to the left to head to the street, at a distance of about 7 feet in to my left turn the front fork/ignition lock moved to the locked" postion. This caused a slow speed crash. The bike was damaged, and i have a broken finger that will require additional treatment. All crash bars damaged on bike.*ak |
