[BIG DOUG]

If the brakes failed they would essentially be the same as new anyway..............

Harley-Davidson is recalling about 308,000 motorcycles worldwide to fix a switch problem that can cause failure of the brake lights and possibly the rear brakes.

The problem – affecting CVO Touring and Trikes from 2009 to 2012 model years – is that brake light switches can be exposed to too much heat from the exhaust system. The heat can cause the switches to fail and can cause fluid leaks leading to the loss of the rear brake.

Harley will notify users of the recall and dealers will install a rear brake light switch kit free of charge.

Wow 308,000 bikes recalled by Harley! Have they made that many already?

Excuse my stupidness... CVO ???

CVO as in Custom Vehicle Operations. They're the HDs that are supplied without the tow hitch for the agricultural implements.

Oh right... whew, mine has one of those (they even threw in a free plough to attatch it to)

I must be all good then.

Haha, at least you've got a sense of humour. Scary stuff though when there's a recall involving possible brake failure...

Lol. I understand how you might have come to that conclusion but thought to check to see if you had simply dropped the rider and W by accident

Well jeez, that explains a lot. Why don't you try stopping an anchor... them's big things man!
