Description of the problem	I was riding my stock 2007 hd sportster 1200 yesterday on a paved road approx. 35 mph when i ran over a rough portion of road. The right foot peg / rear brake pedal assembly came off from its mounting position on the lower frame and was dragging on the road. I pulled over to discover that the two bolts that hold the bracket / assembly to the frame had sheared off. I weigh 185 lbs and the motorcycle did not bottom-out on the rough road, nor did the brake / foot peg assembly strike the road. The bolts appear to have simply sheared off from my weight on the foot peg on a rough patch of road. Luckily, i maintained control of the motorcycle and was able to stop it with no usable rear brake as the control was dragging on the road. I did research last night on the internet and read several postings on a motorcycle blog with owners of 2007 sportster 1200 motorcycles that reported exactly the same issue, so i am reporting it to you. There is no visible rust on the bolts where they sheared off. They appear to below-grade steel bolts that failed under normal use. I was lucky that i maintained control as my foot dropped to the ground at 35 mph - it could have been much worse. Please let me know if you have received similar complaints and if there is a resolution underway.
