Take a look 4,100 miles 2009 FLHTCU on my Shifter side Front Frame !

I was just changing my oil and saw this CRACK... May be from a Cold Weld !!

I am sooooo upset......DANG !

 

Well, uh.......crap.

 

Hard to tell with the`white stuff, but it looks like a missed weld. Not a good thing. Hope you were wanting a new bike, cause I think you should have one coming from the factory. They should be thrilled that it did not fall apart completely.

 

I have no idea what the white stuff is....

I have to wait until Tuesday 7.7.2009 to go show the dealer.. YOU BET I AM GOING TO ASK FOR A NEW BIKE...

But will probly just have to give them the bike , wait 3 months for a new frame, then hope they put the bike together correct !!!

Man this is sooo wrong ... I have res. at Sturgis and a plan trip to FLA. this summer !!

 

huh yea the corrosion makes me think it may have never been welded, or it has been cracked for a while. either way id say a new frame coming your way. i wouldnt count on a new bike though since MOCO can do a frame swap pretty cheap under warranty. this is not like an insurance claim where there is a bent frame, in your case the ONLY thing needing replaced is a frame. hell they may even try and weld it up who knows.

 

Where exactly is that at? can you zoom back alittle?

 

Ditto. More detail in the photo please.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at in the original photos.

 

This is located on the Shifter side..

This is the Down Tube Part of the Frame..

This is in Lower Front of the Down Tube....

Sorry I had to crop this Pic...

 

That is a TOUGH break!----------- (No pun intended) ------------ Hope ya get total satisfaction.

 

Is that oil on the nut on the left?..what about the big rusted dented looking area on the upper right.......
