I was doing about 60mph in 4th, not sure that matters but wanted to give all information that I can. No, out of the ordinary sounds and the bike just lost all power. Dash went black and engine was off. When it happened my rear wheel LOCKED completely causing a skidding situation. I was able to keep the bike upright and got the bike to the side of the road. Ignition toggle was still in the run position. I flipped it off waited a minute or so and then flipped back to run, waited about 30 seconds more and restarted the bike. I rode another 50-60 miles and everything seemed fine and I had no more issues. When I got home I checked for codes and none seem to be present, no warning lights etc were seen at time of event. Reported to Indywest Harley Davidson GM, Alicia Soukop and have not had a response from her, at this time.
