Ok just thought you guys would want to hear this. One of my buddies that i served in the Army with decided to buy his first Harley last year! Because he got blown up in Iraq he couldnt handel the bigger bikes so he bought a brand new Nightster! Cool little bike if you ask me. Anyway sad to say he has have nothing but problems with it! First problem he had was with the paint, the paint was the custon paint tin option the flat black skull collection paint set which was alot more money. Well to make along story short the paint started bubbling up on him and he said rust was coming threw! took them 6 months to get it fixed. The most recent problem just happed 2 weeks ago. His front forks just pretty much collapsed he took it to the dealer and they said after they looked at it that it had the wrong fork oil in it! How the heck does a brand new bike get the wrong fork oil in it? Anyway they putt heavy weight oil in it and know its fine. But in the end he has only had his first harley for a year now and he is pretty disapointed! I told him i am going on my 4th harley and never had a problem with one of them ever! So what the heack are the harleys getting crappier or is his just a fluke??

Let me see if I understand this correctly.
There is a HD owned by someone else in an other state that claims problems that he told you about. These problems are taken care off.
The description of the problems are second hand by you and not accurate.
HD riders have put engine motor oil, ATF, various grade of hydraulic oil in forks over the years without "collapsing". The only result of that is softer or stiffer dampening.
You intent by your wording was to bash HD. Your use of a passed on second party garbled explanations is without merit.
Therefore I stand firmly that your post is "BS".
Now you have a nice day!
