| Description of the problem | After paying over $400 to get the pipes rebuilt by harley to take care of the heat on the right side of the motor i left for texas from ohio (i'm 72 years old).. The motor on the right side was so hot i had to buy a scarf to wet and put on the inside of my pants on the right side to keep my leg from burning... Has harley done anything about that problem.. And why should i have to pay to fix there problem.. Almost everyone i know complains about that heat problem.. I love my trike and it rides so nice.. We bought it new.. It's the tan and brown one.. However this next weekend is the big motorcycle show in cleveland ohio and we are going to look for another maker of motorcycles... I would love to stay with harley but would rather have a trike that i can ride without having to carry water to keep my right leg wet because of the extreme heat. |
