| Description of the problem | The harley-davidson street 750 has brake failures. The failures are systemic to the rear brake cylinder causing. I have actually have the linkage brake off because of no thread lock but the rear brake just slides over the rotor and never stop the bike on it own. Hd solution is to install the same defective part. Bike needs a recall. Below is independent test documenting the failures. Http://lanesplitter. Jalopnik. Com/harley-davidson-street-750s-brakes-completely-fail-in-m-1729350316 the only think that will make hd fix this defect is a gov recall or deaths and lawsuits. I have included a document of an email i sent to cowboy hd of austin. Describing all the problems i had with the bike. |
