If I can write this mail, it's because I'm still alive. I'm giuseppe and I'm living in brussels belgium. I have a harley-davidson street rod 750 since september 2017 but I ride since march 2018. I bought my street rod at harley-davidson brussels. In april 2018, my dealer made the first service at 5000km. This saturday the fifth of this month january at 05:45 am, I was riding home after work. I was alone on the road and fortunatly, I was ridding only at 50 km/h ( 31 miles. Sudanly, the piston of the braking system of the front wheel was activated without reason and blocked the wheel. I fell and I finish my work day in the hospital with a broken thumb, an injured shoulder and a broken knee. To ride with a harley-davidson, it's a dream since I was child. Now, I'm 53 and I want to still trust in h-d bike and h-d services. Now, my bike is in the garage of the h-d brussel, I'm verry angry and anraged because I risked my life. Not because of an other driver who was on the phone and he doens't saw me, not because of the ground was wet. But because the h-d mecanisme are not reliable. I reminder you that if I was riding at 120 km/h, I was dead. I want to complaint about that because it's very important. We are the 10 of january, 5 days after my accident and I'm always thinking, '' wtf!!!! I risked my life because I was riding???!!!'' I'm sorry guys, but I will never give up.

What 2017 Harley-Davidson Flde owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle has been under a recall since november 4, 2018. Today is november 28, 2018 and it has not been fixed, the dealer said they don't know when they will get to it. They have a parts issue. I think this is an unreasonable amount of time waiting, and not knowing when it will be fixed. The federal safety agency recall number is 18v734. Please help.
My engine would stall out intermittently. Typically would occur when stopping or going. Would not restart with clutch in. Had to shift to neutral to restart. A faulty clutch module was the cause. This has been replaced two times by my dealership.
