That's interesting. Brakes fail suddenly. It is blamed on the parking brake needing adjustment. They still don't work after adjusted. They do work after new switch is installed AND brakes are bled.

Picked my 2010 up right at the dealers closing time yesterday after the 20K service and brake switch recall was done. It will have to go back because my rear brake pedal travels all the way to the bottom of it's stroke now. Still have minimal rear brakes but not anywhere near what I had before. I'm getting tired of all of the H-D inadequacies. Might have to begin considering a Goldwing trike conversion.

Converter?
I'll know possibly tomorrow what happened because I'm taking it to the dealer. You correct my dads doesn't have a converter, mine doesn't either. If you look you'll see the switch is pretty close to the exhaust, in this picture you can see the plug connected to the switch which is on the left. When you look at all the heat the bottom exhaust mount took I'd bet the switch is getting hammered pretty good also.
How do you know if your Triglide has a cat converter? Mines an 09. Someone told me once that they did'nt put them on till 10.

Do you think maybe that would be a clue?

You know how it is, you can lead a horse to water but it doesn't mean you can make it drink. Some dealers are naturally dumb, others have to work at it.
