I can personally attest to what happens when they forget to locktite the two bolts that hold the oil pick-up tube in place. I think they had some isolated problems on the assembly line. Mine blew on a busy street at high speeds, but I managed to keep her upright. New motor and $1500 for my inconvience was the end result. Harley took care of me once I got into contact with the right person.
