FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE FAILED WITHOUT AND INDICATION AT 17000 AND 25000 MILES. THIS COULD AND WILL CAUSE DEATH IF GONE UNDETECTED AT HIGH SPEED. DEALERS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HARLEY FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO THE RIDERS BUT ALSO TO OTHER VEHICLES IF THE BEARING FAILS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE BEARINGS ARE A GROSS INFERIOR PRODUCT THAT HARLEY CONTINUES TO USE SINCE 2008 AND IS RISKING EVERY RIDERS LIFE AND THEY CONTINUE TO REPLACE THEM WITH THE SAME BEARINGS KNOWINGLY AGAIN PUTTING RIDERS LIFE AT RISK. *TR
