What 2012 Harley-Davidson FXS owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The left rear taillight is randomly blowing on my 2012 blackline in very short intervals. Since I have owned the bike I have gone through three bulbs in about 150 miles.I cannot tell what speed this is happening at. I have heard of no corrective action on the bike from harley davidson.
The running lights die. In 2000 miles I have had 4 lights replaced. At any given moment and worse at night I can suddenly not have a running light. Cars may hit me if they don't see me.
