2007 HARLEY-DAVIDSON Flstc

I HAVE A HARLEY DAVIDSON 2007 HERITAGE SOFTTAIL CLASSIC. IT HAS A DANGEROUS HEAT PROBLEM. HARLEY DAVIDSON DESIGNED THE BIKE WITH THE OIL PAIN RIGHT UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT. I HAVE A TEMPERATURE OIL GAUGE AND THE TEMPERATURE REACHES 250DEGREES RIGHT UNDER YOUR THIGH. IT IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL, FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE A BLOW TORCH RIGHT UNDER YOUR THIGH. IT IS QUITE DISTRACTING AND WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU AT ALL TIME. I CONTACT HD CUSTOMER SERVICES, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY FIXITS IN MIND. THEY NEED TO, IT IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN FLAW, HOWEVER EVEN IF THEY REDESIGN THE MOTORCYCLE IT DOES LITTLE GOOD FOR ME. I LOVE THE BIKE, BUT HATE THE HEAT. HARLEY NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND DESIGN SOME SORT OF DEFLECTOR PART TO PUT ON THESE BIKES. THE BIKE IS HOT ALL OF THE TIME, A LITTLE COOLER WHEN YOU ARE GOING FAST, BUT NOT MUCH. *TR

'07 HARLEY DAVIDSON HERITAGE SOFTAIL -I WAS RIDING WITH A GROUP AND WE ACCIDENTALLY RAN INTO A PARADE DURING THE 4TH OF JULY. WE SAT IN TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES DURING WHICH TIME I HAD TURNED MY BIKE OFF AND GOT OFF OF IT DUE TO THE HEAT. AFTER 10 MINUTES OF NOT RUNNING I RESTARTED MY BIKE TO MAKE A U-TURN. HOWEVER THE MOTORCYCLE DIED DURING THE U-TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE MOTORCYCLE UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO BE HIT BY A VEHICLE IF THE LANE WAS NOT BEING BLOCKED BY THE LEAD RIDER. I LATER DROPPED THE BIKE IN A PARKING LOT DUE TO HEAT AS WELL. IF THIS BIKE EVER FALLS ON THE RIGHT AND LANDS WITH MY LEG UNDER THE PIPE I WILL SUFFER MASSIVE BURNS DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT THIS MOTOR PUTS OFF. NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT THE HEAT ISSUE. HARLEY DAVIDSON EXPECTS THE CUSTOMER TO PURCHASE EXPENSIVE PARTS TO REPAIR AN ENGINEERING FAILURE THEY CREATED. THE BIKE IS STILL RUNNING HOT BUT I NOT LONGER FEEL SAFE ON IT. *TR
