HAPPENED 4 TIMES: LAST OCCURRENCE COULD HAVE HAD DISASTEROUS RESULTS HAD A PULL OFF NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. COMPLETE ELECTICAL FAILURE. 1ST TIME AT A STOPLIGHT. 2ND TIME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. 3RD TIME RIDING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. 4TH TIME ON AN INTERSTATE (I-295). HAD IT HAPPENED 10 SECONDS SOONER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER BY A TRUCK. AFTER 2ND TIME, TOOK THE MOTORCYCLE TO MY DEALER...HE STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE 1992 FLHS AND COULD NOT DO ANY SERVICE AS A RECALL. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED TO PAY FOR IT...AND NOW, I SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 1994 -1998 FLHS FOR THE VERY SAME THING. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 98V158000) ALL FOUR TIMES: AFTER ALLOWING THE MOTORCYCLE TO STAND FOR A MINITE OR TWO, THE CIRCUIT BREAKER RESET ITSELF AND THE VICHICLE STARTED AND CONTINUED ON AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPEND. THIS RECALL SHOULD GO BACK TO 1992 OR BEFORE. *AK
