| Description of the problem | Left side battery cover falls off, have replaced clips from harley davidson but cover still falls off. This is completely distracting while driving and could cause me to crash or hit another vehicle and cause an accident. The dealer has stated that they have done all they can and harley davidson corp. Has told me to put zip ties on it and it is still under warranty. This is dangerous and from the hd forum this has happened to many riders. The cover has repeatedly fallen off since i bought this motorcycle in the spring of 2015. |
