Consider this..... probably a lot of people who post here don't own Harleys.

People with early production 11's posted their complaints a year ago, and have since fixed their delivery issues.

People with 12's are just now registering their teething problems, and a year from now will have had their issues addressed.

Don't be so smug : >)

Point taken, not trying to be negative. Just pointing out what I have heard. I do however love the AMF reference. And yes, I do own a Harley. Anyone want to buy an 11 Voltage Regulator????

I have a 2012 SG with almost 5000 miles and it runs great. I have a little problem with my maps but that is because I'm using a power vision with stage 1 upgrade. It just needs a little tuning. Can't speak for others. Anyways, that is what the warranty if for... I have 5 years and I'm glad I got it. I used it on my 07 RKC. - metal in crank case...

Good luck with that Power Vision and your warranty, you may want to remove that before you take it in for service.

I bought my 2012 Limited in October. 6000 miles with no issues. Very happy with this bike so far.

My voltage regulator died with less than 300 miles on the bike. My bike was stuck at the dealer for a week along with 6 other 2012 touring bikes with the same issue. 3 of them were orange that had the chrome regulators.

HD has the voltage regulators on back order so I don't think this is a limited number of people that are having issues. They could have switched to a new vendor or changed something with the regulators that is causing the issue.

I have had 1500 trouble free miles since having the regulator replaced.

My 2011 Softail had zero issues after 8000 miles.

My dad always said if you cant fix it then chrome it, maybe that's what they did.

I do believe that you certainly are likely to read about problems rather than no problem on the forums. Not likely someone is going to post a thread that's titled "No problems with my bike". That being said: I haven't had any problems with my 2012 FLHRC - Knock on wood.
