Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rode most of the day on a fairly descent highway with some dips and some small bumps in the highway. After final destination to a restaurant, noticed upon inspection the upper part of the right rear shock was inverted. Closer inspection revealed the upper shock bolt just below the seat was separated in half and hanging on by the sleeve of the bolt inside the threaded hole of the frame. This had to have happen during my ride since the seat had some wear from rubbing on the shock fastener sleeve. The shock was also bent at the top indicating impact during the ride to force a bend in the shock. I was the only rider on the bike for this trip, hypothetically this could have been catastrophic if i would have had another rider on board. The manager of harley davidson new orleans will have my bike towed in to replace both shocks, all four bolts and my seat. *jb
