COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SALE OF NEW AND USED HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE WITH RED TURN SIGNALS VS THE USUAL ORANGE YELLOW WARNING SIGNALS. I ALMOST COLLIDED WITH A 2008 HARLEY DAVIDSON DYNA FAT BOY RECENTLY, THE SMALL RED SIGNAL WAS NOT AT ALL VISIBLE WHEN HE TURNED IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT EVEN USING HIS BRAKE LIGHTS. I VIEWED HIS MOTORCYCLE AND ALSO NOTICED NEW MOTOR CYCLES WITH THE SAME SMALL RED TURN SIGNALS. AS A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER (32 YEARS) MOTOR CYCLE COP, (2009) THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS, AND DEATHS THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THESE LITTLE BLINKERS IN THE REAR WITH THE RED LENS DOES NOT SUFFICE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND TAKE ACTION. THANK YOU
