Default new member/ 2011 blackline

Hey all new member here... Just posting this as I got my bike in the spring and up until now has been a great bike. Wondering if anyone running a 2011 especially blackline is seeing this issue. Over the last three weeks bike keeps burning out running lights. Dealer seems to have this solved now the bike has intermitent rear turn signals (come on then go out or don"t come on at all sometimes work fine). When the signal stops working the gauge light blinks fast but if the light starts working agian the gauge light dosn't correct and continues to blink fast. I have also just located a bent rear pulley confirmed by the dealer what would cause this? The bike has been owned by me from new and never dropped.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated Thank you

yeah... THis was discussed last week. Harley Davidson is aware of the issue and is working to resolve...they will be notifying BlackLine owners to bring their bikes in to have it fixed once they have a solution. They said that its a vibration issue and should have it resolved shortly. There are about 8 or so of us with the same problem.

I have had the same issue. I have replaced my rear blinker/brake light twice.

I've had my 2011 since July and havn't had that problem. Sounds like a short!

Replaced mine twice.

In another thread, someone mentioned that HD is aware of the issue and working on a fix.
