I OWN A 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON VRSCR STREET ROD. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE BIKE, THE FRONT WAS SLIGHTLY WOBBLY. AS I RODE THIS BIKE MORE, THE WOBBLE GOT WORSE, AND WAS MUCH MORE WHEN BRAKING. FINALLY, AFTER A TRIP TO CHARLESTON FROM ATLANTA, AS WE GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY, THE WOBBLING WAS SOO BAD, I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING THE BIKE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER, AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE ROTOR, BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE IN STOCK. I LOOKED ONLINE, AND REALIZED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AFTER MY TRIP, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT HD TOLD THEM THIS WAS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE WHEELS ON THIS BIKE. THEY WERE CAREFUL NOT TO CALL IT A FLAW. THEY DID, HOWEVER, REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF WHEEL, WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. BUT, I HAD TO PAY $500 FOR A REAR WHEEL TO MATCH THE NEW FRONT WHEEL . . AND THEY MADE ME FEEL LIKE THEY DID ME A FAVOR BY PUTTING THE REAR WHEEL ON FOR FREE. I THINK THAT THIS IS A FLAW, NOT A CHARACTERISTIC. AND IT IS EXPLAINED SINCE HARLEY PROMPTLY HAS STOPPED SELLING THIS BIKE AFTER ONLY 2 YRS OF PRODUCTION. THERE'S MORE TO THIS STORY AS OF THE GRIEF I WAS CAUSED, BUT I'LL SAVE YOU THE TROUBLE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU'D LIKE THE GORY DETAILS. BEST REGARDS, NAVID AMIDI *TR
