Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On 5/27/13 while riding home from work i heard a bang from the rear of my bike. I then heard rattling. I stopped and found that 3 of the 5 bolts that hold the rear sprocket on the hub were sheared off at the threads. This is not the first time. About 3 years ago the same thing happened to me. I had to removed the sheared bolts from inside the hub and replaced them with '6' mark grade 'a' bolts. These bolts failed on 5/27/13. I noticed that there is a little 'play' between the spacing between the sproket hole and bolt. This may be causing the bolts to shear if stress or torque is placed on the rear wheel/sprocket. Harley denies that this is their equipment issue but to have it happen twice is kind of odd especially if i replaced the stock bolts with better ones.
