THE ROTOR ON MY 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON DYNA STREET BOB, WAS BOLTED ON. THE BOLTS STRIPPED AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR AND STATER, CAUSING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREME ACCIDENT. IT CAUSED THE BIKE TO SHUT DOWN. HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED THIS AS A FLAW SINCE THE NEW ROTOR IS WELDED NOT BOLTED BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NOTHING I DID CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN AND YET I AM FORCED TO PUT MONEY INTO A MOTORCYCLE THAT IS PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. *TR
